Our Commitment to Web Accessibility

Made by Hudson is committed to providing a fully accessible website experience for all users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, screen enlargement software, and alternative keyboard input devices to navigate the web.

Ongoing efforts to ensure accessibility

We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 as our guiding principle for determining accessibility. These are internationally agreed-upon standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content useable. As we add new pages and functionality to our website, all designs, code, and content entry practices are checked against these standards.

Website accessibility is an ongoing process. We continually test content and features for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and remediate any issues to ensure we meet or exceed the standards. Testing of our website is performed by our team members using industry-standard tools such as the Accessibility Checker WordPress Plugin, color contrast analyzers, keyboard-only navigation techniques, and Flesch-Kincaid readability tests.

Accessibility features on our website

The following is a list of items we have included in our website to improve its accessibility:

  • Our website design has a mobile-responsive version with appropriately sized tap-targets.
  • We have chosen a web font we believe is easy to read and interpret.
  • Our website declares a language in the header.
  • All images and other non-text elements have appropriate alternative text associated with them.
  • ARIA text is used for links, buttons, icons and images that require additional context for understanding.
  • A warning is provided before links open in a new tab or window.
  • Include accessibility and inclusion as part of our mission statement.

Testing

We perform periodic ongoing manual accessibility tests and testing with assistive technology.

Where we’re improving

In our efforts to bring our website up to standard, we are targeting the following areas:

  • Integrated forms are being looked at for compliance.
  • Creating an accessible brand colour palette to meet colour contrast and AAA requirements, even for small text accurately.
  • Address any ARIA Hidden warnings.
  • Address any typographical areas that might be confused for headings.

This is part of our broader effort to make everyone’s experience at madebyhudson.com.au a welcoming and enjoyable one. Please note that while we make every effort to provide information accessible for all users, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third party websites to which we may link.
