Accessibility Statement

How accessible ionita.nl is, what we tested, and what we know is not yet perfect.

Ionita Consulting B.V. wants ionita.nl to be usable by everyone, including people who browse with a keyboard only, with a screen reader, at high zoom, or with motion reduced.

This statement describes how accessible the site currently is and, just as importantly, what we have and have not been able to verify.

Conformance status

This website was rebuilt in 2026 and is designed to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

Based on the testing described below, we believe the site meets that standard. It has not yet been independently audited, and it has not been tested with people who use assistive technology daily. We are therefore describing the site as substantially conformant rather than claiming full conformance, and we will update this statement if an independent audit says otherwise.

What we tested, and how

Testing was carried out on 3 September 2026 against every page on the site, not a sample.

Automated testing. All 72 pages were scanned with axe-core against the WCAG 2.0 A, WCAG 2.0 AA, WCAG 2.1 A and WCAG 2.1 AA rule sets. Zero violations were reported. Google Lighthouse reports an accessibility score of 100 on every page template.

Automated tools reliably detect only part of what the standard covers, so they were not relied on alone.

Manual and scripted checks.

  • Keyboard navigation through the full focus order of each template, confirming that no element traps focus and that every interactive element is reachable.
  • A visible focus indicator on every interactive element: a 3px gold outline with a 3px offset, verified under real keyboard input rather than scripted focus.
  • A skip link as the first focusable element on every page.
  • Reflow at a 320 pixel viewport width with no horizontal scrolling (WCAG 1.4.10).
  • The WCAG 1.4.12 text-spacing overrides applied, confirming no content is clipped or lost.
  • Contrast of all text against its actual rendered background, including the brand gold, which is used as a graphic colour and never as body text on a light ground.
  • Correct heading order on every template, with no skipped levels.
  • Landmark regions, page language, form labels, and accessible names for all controls and images, inspected through the browser’s accessibility tree.
  • Reduced-motion behaviour: all animation and scroll-triggered reveals are disabled when the operating system requests reduced motion, and page content remains fully visible.
  • The mobile menu specifically: it is removed from the tab order when closed, moves focus on opening, closes on Escape, and returns focus to the button that opened it.

Known limitations

We would rather name these than let you discover them.

  • The site has not been tested with real screen reader software or with assistive technology users. We have inspected the accessibility tree that screen readers consume, which is a good proxy, but it is not the same as hearing what a given screen reader announces in practice.
  • No independent accessibility audit has been carried out.
  • Some case study pages carry decorative imagery with empty alternative text. This is deliberate, because the images repeat information already in the adjacent text, but reasonable people can disagree about individual cases.
  • Documents linked from this site that were produced by third parties may not meet the same standard.

Technical approach

The site is built as static HTML with semantic markup. JavaScript is used only for the mobile menu and for scroll-triggered reveals, and every page is fully readable and navigable with JavaScript disabled. Fonts are self-hosted. No content depends on colour alone to convey meaning.

Feedback

If you find something on this site that you cannot use, please tell us. We treat accessibility problems as defects, not as feature requests.

Email info@ionita.nl with the page address and a description of the problem. We aim to respond within five working days.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Netherlands Institute for Human Rights (College voor de Rechten van de Mens).

About this statement

This statement was prepared on 3 September 2026 and applies to ionita.nl. It was written following a rebuild of the site and reflects testing carried out on that date. We review it when the site changes materially, and at least once a year.
