1. Our commitment
Pressingforward LTD wants everyone to be able to browse, buy and get support here, whatever technology they use to do it. That includes screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, speech input, magnification and high-contrast modes.
This is not a box-ticking exercise. If something on this site stops you buying a product or getting help with one, that is a bug, and we want to hear about it.
2. The standard we aim for
We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA. We are not claiming full conformance, because this site has not yet had an independent accessibility audit. The honest position is partially conformant: much of the site has been built with accessibility in mind, some of it has not been tested, and the known gaps are listed in section 4.
3. What we have done
- Colour contrast has been measured, not guessed. Our orange brand colour fails against white text at 3.34:1, so buttons use near-black text on orange instead, which passes at 5.81:1.
- Real headings in a real order, so screen reader users can jump through a page by structure rather than reading every word.
- Landmarks: header, navigation, main content and footer are marked up as such, with labelled navigation regions.
- Every form field has a visible label, not just placeholder text, and errors are reported per field rather than as one lump at the top.
- Status messages are announced. Where an action happens without a page reload, such as requesting a refund or cancelling a subscription, the result is placed in a live region so it is read out.
- Images carry alternative text, and decorative images are hidden from assistive technology rather than described pointlessly.
- Text resizes. Layouts use relative units, so increasing text size in your browser does not clip or overlap content.
- No content depends on colour alone to convey meaning.
- A skip link on every page. Press Tab on arrival and the first thing you reach is a link that jumps you past the navigation to the content.
- A deliberate focus indicator, not the browser default: a thick gold ring that measures 12.2:1 against our dark background, so you can always see where you are when navigating by keyboard.
- Motion is reduced if you ask for it. If your operating system is set to reduce motion, our transitions and animations switch off.
- Body text is set at a readable weight and size. Light type on a dark background thins out optically, so body copy is not set lighter than regular weight, and long-form pages are set larger than the site default.
4. What we know is not right yet
Listing these is the point of an accessibility statement. Every item here is something we intend to fix.
| Issue | Where | Status |
|---|---|---|
| No independent audit has been carried out | Whole site | Planned before launch |
| Keyboard navigation has not been tested end to end | Checkout and account areas | Being tested |
| Third-party store and form interfaces have not been separately audited | Basket, checkout, account portal | Under review with the suppliers |
| Cookie consent controls are not in place yet | Whole site | Before launch |
| Podcast episodes will need transcripts and captions | Podcast, once launched | Committed, not yet due |
5. Content we do not control
Products on this marketplace are made by independent vendors. Their documentation, demo sites and the products themselves are outside our control, and we cannot guarantee their accessibility.
What we can do is act. If you tell us a vendor’s product or demo is inaccessible, we will raise it with them, and we take accessibility into account when deciding what to stock and promote.
6. Tell us about a problem
If you hit a barrier anywhere on this site, email support@pressingforward.co.uk. It helps if you can tell us:
- The page you were on
- What you were trying to do
- What technology you were using, if you are happy to say: for example NVDA on Windows, VoiceOver on macOS, or keyboard only
We aim to reply within 30 days. If the problem is stopping you completing a purchase or reaching support, say so and we will prioritise it and help you directly in the meantime.
You can also ask us for anything on this site in another format, such as plain text, larger print or a different medium, and we will do our best to provide it.
7. If we do not put it right
As a private business we have duties under the Equality Act 2010 to make reasonable adjustments so that disabled people are not put at a substantial disadvantage.
If you are not happy with how we respond, the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS) gives free, independent advice: equalityadvisoryservice.com. The Equality and Human Rights Commission is responsible for enforcing the Act.
8. Technical information
This site is built on WordPress. Pages are written in standards-compliant HTML with CSS for presentation, and remain readable with JavaScript disabled, apart from the basket, checkout and account areas, which need it.
Accessibility is assessed by a mix of manual review and automated checks. We have not yet commissioned a third-party audit, and this statement will be updated when we do.
9. About this statement
This statement was prepared on 24 September 2026. It is reviewed whenever the site changes materially, and at least once a year.
