What is built, and what is not

The status first, then the claims — each one checkable in ten seconds.

Where we stand

The status, before the claims

A statement is worth exactly as much as its honesty about what has not been tested, so this comes first rather than after a list of things we do well.

What is built

None of it needs to be taken on trust

Each row carries the one move that tests it, where a single move is enough. Two have none, because no single gesture settles them and inventing one would be worse.

Keyboard

Every step of the booking can be completed without a mouse. Vehicle, service, condition and time choices are real radio buttons and checkboxes, so arrow keys, space and tab behave the way you expect. A skip link at the top of every page goes straight to the main content.

Try itPress Tab from the top of this page.

Focus

Whatever has keyboard focus carries a visible gold ring, including on dark sections, where the ring is lifted to stay visible against charcoal.

Try itTab onto a link inside a charcoal band.

Screen readers

Every control has a label. Vehicle drawings carry a text description of what they show. Step changes, validation errors and price updates are announced rather than appearing silently.

Try itMove through one booking step with a screen reader on.

Errors

A validation message appears next to the field it belongs to and is linked to it, instead of being collected into a banner at the top of the page.

Try itSubmit a step with a required field left empty.

Motion

If your device is set to reduce motion, transitions and the confirmation animation are switched off, including their delays. Nothing in the flow depends on an animation to make sense.

Try itTurn on Reduce Motion and reload.

Contrast

Body text is charcoal on white or white on charcoal. Gold is used for selection, highlights and buttons that carry dark text — never as small text on a light background, where it would not pass.

No single gesture settles this one, so there is no test printed against it.

Zoom and reflow

Pages are built to reflow rather than scroll sideways. Where content genuinely cannot shrink — a price table — it scrolls inside its own box instead of pushing the page out.

Try itZoom to 200% and look for a sideways scrollbar.

The comparison slider

The before-and-after slider is a range input underneath, so it can be operated with arrow keys as well as by dragging, and it reports its position aloud.

Try itTab onto the handle and press the arrow keys.

What is missing

The gaps, named

Leaving these out would make the section above mean less than it does.

  • No external audit against WCAG 2.2 AA has been carried out.
  • The booking flow has not been verified end to end with VoiceOver, NVDA and TalkBack.
  • Automated checks are not yet part of the release process.
