Accessibility statement

A site usable by everyone, with no exceptions.

We design this site and the platforms we deliver against WCAG 2.1 level AA criteria. This page describes our commitments, the real conformance status and how to report a barrier to us.

Our principles

Four principles applied to every screen.

They come straight from WCAG. We translate them into concrete checks performed before every release.

P1

Perceivable

Every piece of information stays available even when one sense is unavailable.

  • Text alternatives on meaningful images
  • Minimum 4.5:1 contrast on body text
  • No information conveyed by colour alone
P2

Operable

Everything works from the keyboard, with no focus traps or time pressure.

  • Skip link to main content
  • Visible focus and logical tab order
  • Dropdowns keyboard-driven and closable with Esc
P3

Understandable

Vocabulary, structure and error messages stay explicit.

  • Page language declared with FR / EN switch
  • Form labels bound to their fields
  • Errors described in text, never by colour alone
P4

Robust

The code follows standards so assistive tools can read it reliably.

  • Semantic HTML with identifiable landmarks
  • ARIA roles and states only when needed
  • Components tested with screen readers

Conformance status

What conforms, and what still needs work.

We prefer an honest statement over a broad promise. This table is reviewed at every major site change.
