Accessibility Statement

This statement applies to the website at sornione.com, operated by Sornione Ltd. We are committed to making this website as accessible as possible to all users.

Our commitment

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. We have designed it with accessibility in mind from the start, and we continue to improve it.

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. We have not yet commissioned a formal external audit, and the self-assessment below reflects our own evaluation of the current build.

What we have done

The following accessibility features are implemented in the current version of this website:

Structure and navigation

Every page has exactly one H1 heading
Heading hierarchy is logical on every page (H1 → H2 → H3)
Navigation uses semantic HTML elements including nav, main, section and footer
Skip-to-content links are not yet implemented (see known limitations)
All navigation can be operated by keyboard
Dropdown menus are accessible via keyboard using Tab and Escape
The active page is marked with aria-current="page"
Dropdown parent links use aria-haspopup and aria-expanded

Forms

All form inputs have associated labels using for/id attributes
Required fields are marked with aria-required
Error and success messages use aria-live="polite" and role="status"
The contact form and consultation survey both have accessible validation feedback
Form buttons have descriptive text

Images and media

All images have descriptive alt attributes
Decorative images use empty alt="" to be ignored by screen readers
No content is conveyed through images alone without a text equivalent
There are currently no video or audio elements on this website

Colour and contrast

Body text uses dark colour on light backgrounds throughout
Interactive elements have visible focus indicators
Colour is not used as the sole means of conveying information
Gold accent text on white backgrounds uses a darker shade (#907220) for small text to improve contrast

Motion and animation

All scroll-reveal animations respect the prefers-reduced-motion media query
Content is visible without JavaScript — animations are progressively enhanced
No content flashes more than three times per second

Responsive design

The website is fully responsive and tested on mobile, tablet and desktop viewports
Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality
No horizontal scrolling is required on any page at standard viewport widths

Known limitations

We are aware of the following accessibility limitations in the current build:

Page / Feature	Issue	Plan
All pages	Skip-to-main-content link not yet implemented	To be added in the next update
Interactive experience page	Room sensor visualisation is not fully operable by keyboard	Keyboard-accessible alternative to be designed
System configurator	Card selection relies on mouse click — keyboard operability is partial	To be improved with explicit button roles
All images	No explicit width/height attributes — may cause layout shift on slow connections	To be added as we replace stock photography with owned images
Survey	Some radio/checkbox groups lack fieldset/legend grouping	To be added in the next survey update
Unsplash images	Images served from third-party CDN — we cannot guarantee their server-side accessibility attributes	Resolved when stock photography is replaced

Technical information

This website is built with HTML5, CSS3 and vanilla JavaScript. It does not use any JavaScript frameworks that might introduce accessibility barriers. It is tested on:

Chrome and Safari on macOS
Safari on iOS (iPhone)
Chrome on Android
VoiceOver on iOS and macOS (basic testing)

We have not yet tested with JAWS, NVDA or other dedicated screen reader software. We intend to carry out more formal testing as the site develops.
