Built to be used by everyone
This page says what we actually do, what we have not done yet, and how to tell us when something gets in your way.
Neubor is run by someone with learning disabilities, so this is not a box-ticking exercise for us. Every option below is a real change to how the page reads — you will find them behind the accessibility button in the bottom-left corner of any page. Your choices are stored on your own device and are not sent to us.
What you can change
- Light or dark page colours
- The site is dark by default. The accessibility button switches it to a near-white page with dark text, and remembers the choice on this device.
- Larger text
- Two steps, +12% and +25%. It scales the whole page together rather than one block, so nothing overlaps or gets cut off. If you have already set a larger default in your browser, this builds on top of that instead of overriding it.
- Easier reading
- Wider spacing between letters and words, taller lines, a shorter line length and no italics. This follows the British Dyslexia Association's style guidance. We deliberately do not download a special dyslexia font — the evidence that those beat a plain wide sans-serif is weak, and it would slow the site down for everyone.
- Text spacing
- Two steps. 'Comfortable' opens up the space between letters, words and lines. 'Maximum' applies the widest spacing the WCAG 2.2 standard asks a site to cope with — line height one-and-a-half times the text size, and extra space between every letter, word and paragraph. We test the site at 320 pixels wide with that turned on, so choosing it does not push anything off the screen.
- Colour
- 'Colour-blind friendly' swaps our blue-and-gold accents for a blue-and-orange pair that stays distinguishable with red-green and blue-yellow colour vision. 'No colour' removes colour from the page entirely and puts underlines and borders in its place, so nothing is signalled by colour alone. These change the real page — they are not a simulation of what colour blindness looks like.
- High contrast
- Pure black and white, solid panels instead of translucent ones, stronger outlines, and a thicker focus ring for keyboard use.
- Underlined links
- Turns on an underline everywhere, so a link is never signalled by colour alone.
- Reduced movement
- Stops the moving background and shortens transitions. If your device or browser already asks for reduced motion, the site honours that automatically — you do not need to set anything here.
What is built in already
- Every page works with a keyboard alone, and the focus outline is never removed.
- Text and background colours are chosen to meet the WCAG AA contrast ratio, in both the dark and light themes.
- Buttons and links are sized for a fingertip, not a mouse pointer.
- Text resizes without the layout breaking, and the page never scrolls sideways on a phone.
- Images that carry meaning have text alternatives; decorative ones are hidden from screen readers.
- Headings are in order, so a screen reader can jump through a page by structure.
- The site never plays audio or video on its own.
What we measured, and when
- Standard
- WCAG 2.2 Level AA
- Automated failures
- 0
- Page templates
- 24
- Checks run
- 48
Measured on 23 July 2026 with axe-core against www.neubor.co.uk, across 24 page templates at 2 screen sizes — desktop (1440×900) and mobile-390 (390×844) — 48 checks in total.
⚠ Automated testing only catches part of the standard. It found 1,658 further things it could not decide on its own, which is why we also check keyboard journeys, screen-reader order, 320-pixel reflow and text spacing by hand. This is a measurement, not a certification.
Who has actually used this
Neubor is run by someone who is autistic and has learning disabilities, so the controls above exist because they were needed, not because a checklist asked for them.
Beyond that, friends and contacts with disabilities have used this site and told us what they thought — between them covering colour blindness, dyslexia, dyspraxia and Asperger's, ranging in age from their mid-twenties to their forties.
That is real feedback from real people, and we would rather say exactly what it was than dress it up: it is informal user feedback, not an independent audit. Nobody has been paid to assess this site, and no organisation has certified it.
Where we are not there yet
We build to WCAG 2.2 AAas our target and we test parts of it automatically on every change. We are not claiming full AA conformance, because no independent auditor has been through this site end to end — and a claim like that should come with someone's name on it, not ours.
Known gaps we are working on: some decorative background movement is still present unless you switch it off; a small number of captions and chips are below our target text size; and the interactive demos on our showroom have not all had the same accessibility pass as the main site.
Tell us what does not work
If something on this site gets in your way, we want to know — it is the fastest way for us to fix it, and you will not be the only person hitting it.
Email kieran@neubor.co.uk and it reaches the person who built the site, not a ticket queue. Tell us what you were trying to do and what got in the way — you do not need to know the technical name for it, and you do not need to worry about spelling or wording.
