How accessible the website is

This website was designed to be as accessible as possible.

What we do about known issues

We work to achieve and maintain WCAG 2.1 AA standards, but it is not always possible for all our content to be accessible. Where content is not accessible, we will state a reason, warn users and offer alternatives.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

pinholab is committed to making its website accessible in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the known issues listed below.

Non accessible content

We are not aware of any non-accessible content.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

There are only three errors when running the site through Wave:

-       The first error relates to an apparent empty link in the header. However, this actually does not correspond to any actual content but rather to the use of http://www.w3.org and therefore does not affect usability and accessibility.

-       The second error relates to perceived low contrast between the arrows and the images in the (automatic) slider in the bio-inspired page. However, the contrast actually depends on the image underneath, which wave appears to interpret as being white. Therefore this does not affect usability and accessibility.

-       The third error relates to a perceived very low contrast in the “read more” buttons between the white text and the red button. This is a standard colour combination for buttons and, particularly given the limited text in the button, does not affect usability and accessibility.

Disproportionate burden

Not applicable.
