Accessibility Statement

Last updated: July 2026

Natterio builds websites for community groups, small businesses and charities — many of whom serve people who rely on assistive technology. We want both natterio.com itself and every site Natterio generates to be usable by as many people as possible.

What we target

We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the standard referenced by UK public-sector accessibility regulations and generally treated as the baseline for good practice. This is a genuine goal, not a compliance guarantee — see “Known limitations” below.

What we've done

• Colour contrast is enforced, not just reviewed. Every AI-generated site palette is automatically checked against WCAG AA (4.5:1) for body text and for white text on brand colours, and adjusted if it falls short — not left to chance on a per-site basis.
• Keyboard access. Generated sites include a skip-to-content link so keyboard and screen-reader users can bypass the navigation menu.
• Reduced motion. Scroll animations respect your operating system's “reduce motion” setting — content is never hidden or dependent on an animation to appear.
• Automated testing. We run automated accessibility scans (axe-core) against both natterio.com and a real generated site as part of our test suite, catching machine-detectable issues before they ship.
• Image descriptions. Photography on generated sites carries descriptive alt text.

Known limitations

Automated testing (what we currently run) catches a meaningful floor of issues — contrast, missing labels, landmark structure, ARIA misuse — but it cannot catch everything a full manual audit or real assistive-technology testing would (for example, whether reading order, keyboard-trap edge cases, or complex interactive widgets are genuinely usable end to end). We have not yet completed a manual WCAG audit or user testing with assistive technology.

Content on individual generated sites — the text, images and structure a community owner adds or edits themselves — is outside our direct control, though the platform's own components and defaults are built to the standard above.

Reporting a problem

If you hit an accessibility barrier anywhere on natterio.com, or on a site built with Natterio, please tell us — email hello@natterio.com. Include the page URL and, if you can, what assistive technology you were using. We treat these reports as bugs, not feedback to file away.
