Accessibility Overlay

Extra support.
Not a substitute for accessibility.

How it works

Our accessibility overlay offers optional interface adjustments — such as text size, spacing, and contrast — to support some users.

It does not fix accessibility issues.

It does not replace accessible design.

And it is never our primary accessibility solution.

    What our overlay is (and isn’t)

    It is:

    • An optional layer, users can turn on or off
    • Designed not to interfere with assistive technologies
    • Built to support people who don’t normally use screen readers or specialist tools
    • Customised for each website — tools that don’t work well with your design or UX are removed

    It is not:

    • A compliance solution
    • An automated “fix”
    • A replacement for testing or remediation
    • A guarantee of WCAG compliance — overlays should only be used alongside accessible design and development

    Accessibility must be built into the website itself.

    How we actually make websites accessible

    Real accessibility comes from human-led testing. We assess websites using:

    Manual accessibility testing

    Disabled testers with lived experience

    Assistive technologies used in real-world scenarios

    This is how we uncover the barriers overlays can’t detect — and how meaningful accessibility improvements are made.

    Our recommendation

    • Assess your website properly
    • Fix real accessibility barriers
    • Use an overlay only as an additional option

    An overlay can enhance choice. Only testing can deliver accessibility.

    Please fix the following errors:
