01 / Approach
The production target is practical conformance with WCAG 2.2 AA principles: semantic structure, readable contrast, keyboard-operable controls, visible focus, accessible names, useful alternative text and responsive layouts that do not require a pointer.
02 / Motion and reduced motion
The desktop experience uses GSAP, pinned scroll and depth planes to explain relationships. When the operating system requests reduced motion, spatial transforms and scroll choreography are suppressed and the core content remains in a static reading order. Mobile uses a separate, less aggressive composition rather than simply shrinking the desktop sequence.
03 / Keyboard and focus
Navigation, buttons, route controls, project links, tool tabs, Scout controls and the enquiry form are intended to be keyboard reachable. Dialog-like panels return focus to the launching control when closed. Focus indicators should remain visible.
04 / Images, video and 3D
Decorative media is separated from essential text. The hero video is muted and the City 3D has a static fallback. Project diagrams include descriptive alternative text and their explanatory content is also expressed in adjacent text.
05 / Known limits
Interactive 3D, third-party map/GIS services and browser rendering can vary by device, connection and assistive technology. The site therefore keeps the essential proposition, project proof, tools and contact route available in semantic HTML even if WebGL or external data services fail.
