Accessibility
Statement

Last updated: May 5, 2026

Our Commitment

The Full Crumb is committed to making our website accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We target conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines cover a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, cognitive, and neurological conditions.

This statement describes our current conformance status, the specific improvements we have made, and the limitations that remain. We update it whenever meaningful changes are made to the site.

Conformance Status

This website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. "Partially conformant" means that some content does not yet fully meet the standard, but we have made targeted improvements to address the most impactful issues.

The following improvements were completed in May 2026:

  • Text contrast: All body copy and muted text previously rendered using CSS opacity on navy (#0B1957) has been replaced with a fixed colour (#5A6280) that achieves a 6:1 contrast ratio on white backgrounds, exceeding the WCAG AA minimum of 4.5:1.
  • Teal accent text: Decorative teal (#1DB8A6) used for inline text on white backgrounds was replaced with a darker teal (#0E7A6E), which passes WCAG AA at 4.7:1.
  • Form input labels: All form inputs across the site now include explicit aria-label attributes, ensuring screen readers can identify each field when visible labels are not present.
  • Interactive button labels: Icon-accompanied buttons and accordion toggles now include aria-label and aria-expanded attributes where applicable.

Known Limitations

The following issues are known and are being tracked for future improvement. They do not affect the core content of the site but may affect some users relying on assistive technology.

Form error statesInline validation error messages may not be announced by all screen readersPlanned
ARIA landmarksSome page sections lack explicit ARIA landmark roles (e.g., <main>, <nav>)Planned

Measures We Take

The Full Crumb takes the following measures to support accessibility on an ongoing basis:

  • Use semantic HTML5 elements to support screen readers and assistive technologies
  • Provide sufficient colour contrast between text and background elements
  • Include aria-label, aria-expanded, and aria-describedby attributes on interactive elements where native semantics are insufficient
  • Ensure all interactive elements are keyboard-navigable
  • Write descriptive link text that makes sense out of context
  • Avoid relying solely on colour to convey information
  • Ensure text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality
  • Test the site with keyboard-only navigation
