Accessibility statement

Our aim

We want this site to be usable by as many people as possible, and we treat the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, version 2.2 at level AA, as the standard to work towards. We are stating a goal here, not claiming conformance: no independent audit has been carried out, so we describe below what is genuinely in place and what is not.

What is in place

• If your system is set to reduce motion, the site honours it. Every animated section, including the hero carousel, the scrolling text and the gallery, checks that setting and stops moving.
• Every image carries a text alternative, or is marked as decorative so a screen reader passes over it.
• The page is laid out with real landmarks, so you can jump between the navigation, the main content and the footer.
• The navigation, the filter tabs and the frequently asked questions can be operated from the keyboard, and the answers report whether they are open.
• Focus is visible. Interactive elements show a clear outline when you reach them by keyboard.
• Each page declares its own language and text direction, so Arabic is announced in Arabic and reads right to left.
• The whole site exists in English and Arabic, and you can switch between them from any page.

What is not in place yet

We would rather tell you than have you find out:

• There is no skip to content link, so reaching the main content by keyboard means passing through the navigation.
• The work gallery is drawn with WebGL. It falls back to ordinary images when that is unavailable, but the gallery has not been tested with a screen reader.
• Colour contrast has not been measured across the whole site. The design is light text on dark backgrounds, and some of the dimmer secondary text may fall below the level AA threshold.
• The demonstration projects are separate pages and have not been reviewed against this statement.
• No testing with assistive technology users has been carried out.

Tell us

If something here blocks you, please write to genesisworks9@gmail.com and say which page and what happened. We will reply within 30 days, and if we cannot fix it quickly we will tell you what we are doing about it and offer the information another way.

This statement

This statement was prepared on TO FILL: effective date by reviewing the site ourselves. It describes the English and Arabic pages of this website. We will revise it as the known gaps above are closed.
