Accessibility statement

Last updated: August 15, 2026

I build sites that work for people using screen readers, keyboards, magnification, and reduced-motion settings. This page says what that means here, what I have actually checked, and what is still open.

Conformance target

This site aims to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. I believe it currently does, but I have tested it myself rather than commissioned a formal third-party audit, so I describe it as substantially conformant rather than certified.

What has been done

• Contrast. Every text and background pair on the site was measured, not eyeballed. The lowest ratio in use is 4.8:1, above the 4.5:1 that Level AA requires for body text.
• Keyboard. Everything interactive can be reached and operated with a keyboard alone, in a sensible order, with a visible focus outline on each stop. A “Skip to content” link is the first thing you reach.
• Motion. The animated eye on the home page stops entirely for anyone whose system asks for reduced motion, along with every other transition and smooth scroll.
• Structure. Headings run in order, landmarks are marked up properly, and form fields have real labels rather than placeholder text standing in for them.
• Images. Meaningful images carry alt text that describes them. Decorative marks and arrows are hidden from screen readers so they are not read aloud as noise.
• Targets. Buttons and menu controls are at least 48 by 48 pixels, which matters most on phones.
• Text size. Small print was raised across the site so that no interface text sits below roughly 11 pixels.
• No third-party frames. The site embeds nothing from other domains, so no inaccessible external widget can be injected into the page.
• Without JavaScript. The contact form submits and works with JavaScript turned off.

Known limitations

Being straight about the gaps is more useful than claiming there are none:

• Testing has been done with VoiceOver on macOS and iOS and with keyboard-only navigation. I have not yet tested with JAWS or NVDA on Windows.
• The site has not had a formal third-party accessibility audit.
• The PDF service menu has not been remediated for screen readers. If you need its contents in an accessible format, ask me and I will send them as plain text or HTML the same day.

Tell me if something does not work

If any part of this site blocks you, I want to know, and I will treat it as a bug rather than a suggestion. Email hello@argusdigitalworks.com or call (203) 832-2864. Please mention the page and what happened, along with your browser and any assistive technology, if you know it.

I reply within one business day and aim to fix confirmed barriers within ten. If a fix will take longer, I will tell you why and give you the information another way in the meantime.

How this was assessed

Self-evaluation, carried out in August 2026, combining automated checks, programmatic contrast measurement of every color pair in the stylesheet, manual keyboard navigation, and screen reader testing with VoiceOver.
