Accessibility

Here are the specific steps taken to make this site accessible:

• Semantic HTMLThe site is built with proper elements like <header>, <main>, <nav>, <footer>, and <section> so screen readers can understand the page structure.
• Descriptive labelsButtons, links and icon controls have accessible labels so you know what each one does, even if you can't see the icon.
• Decorative elements hiddenDecorative SVGs and shapes are hidden from screen readers so they don't interrupt your experience.
• Keyboard navigationYou can move through the site with a keyboard, and in-page links such as Say hi move keyboard focus to where they land. The video player supports keyboard shortcuts: space to play/pause, arrow keys to seek, M to mute, F for fullscreen.
• Reduced motion supportIf you have "reduce motion" turned on in your device settings, scroll-triggered and entrance animations are turned off. The one exception is listed under known limitations.
• Language declaredThe page language is set to English so screen readers use the correct pronunciation.
• Safe external linksAll links that open in a new tab include security attributes to protect your browsing session.
• Heading hierarchyMost pages step through their headings in order (h1, h2, h3) so screen reader users can scan them. The exceptions are listed under known limitations.

I last reviewed the site on October 6, 2026, with keyboard testing and browser checks at phone, tablet and desktop widths. It has not yet been tested with a screen reader. These are the gaps I know about:

• Focus rings on interactive elements meet WCAG AA requirements. The enhanced AAA criteria for focus ring size and contrast ratio have not been fully evaluated.
• The TTC passenger info display and Heingrid Pharma case studies skip a heading level in places, for example from h2 straight to h4. If you move through those two pages by heading, the outline has gaps.
• The short prototype clips in the Heingrid Pharma case study play on a loop, even with reduce motion turned on, and have no pause button.

This site is designed with reference to the following guidelines and laws:

• WCAG 2.2: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, Level AA
• AODA: Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (Ontario, Canada)
• ACA: Accessible Canada Act
• EAA: European Accessibility Act (EU)
• ADA: Americans with Disabilities Act (U.S.)
• EN 301 549: European standard for ICT accessibility
