Built for everyone we can reach.
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA across sifotech.co.uk and the products we operate. This statement is published voluntarily and we welcome feedback that helps us do better.
WCAG 2.2 AA · Version 1.0 · 17 May 2026
1. Our commitment
Sifotech UK Ltd is committed to making our website and the products we operate accessible to as many people as possible, including users who rely on assistive technology, keyboard-only navigation, captions, reduced motion, or high-contrast modes. Accessibility is treated as a quality concern, not a checkbox.
2. Scope
This statement covers:
- sifotech.co.uk (the marketing site);
- the customer-facing surfaces of products we operate under the Sifotech brand;
- downloadable PDF policy documents we publish.
Third-party services and embedded content (for example, external payment flows) are outside our direct control. Where we know of an accessibility gap in a third-party service we use, it is recorded in section 4.
3. Conformance status
This website is in partial conformancewith WCAG 2.2 level AA. “Partial conformance” means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.
We have not yet completed a formal independent accessibility audit. We aim to commission one once the site stabilises and will publish the findings here when it is complete.
4. Known issues
We are upfront about the parts of the experience that are not yet at level AA:
- Decorative WebGL background. The animated gradient mesh in the page background is decorative and marked aria-hidden, but it can be visually busy for users sensitive to motion. We respect the
prefers-reduced-motionmedia query and disable the animation in that case. - Custom cursor effects. The magnetic cursor and trailing ring are disabled on touch devices and when reduced motion is requested. They do not capture pointer events, but we know some users prefer the native cursor; removing the override is on the roadmap.
- Letter-by-letter heading reveals. Some headings animate on scroll. The final state is always reachable for screen readers, but the staged reveal can be distracting; this is disabled under reduced-motion.
- Contrast in marketing surfaces. A small number of low-emphasis labels currently sit just under the 4.5:1 contrast threshold against dark backgrounds. We are raising these as we iterate on the design system.
- Keyboard focus rings. All interactive elements have visible focus styles, but in two places the ring is clipped by an overflow boundary. Tracked for fix.
- PDF policy documents. Where we publish PDFs (e.g. insurance certificates on request), older documents may not be tagged. We provide accessible HTML alternatives on request.
5. Preparation of this statement
This statement was prepared on 17 May 2026. It is based on self-evaluation. We last reviewed it on the same date.
6. How we test
We combine automated and manual testing on every release:
- automated checks using axe-core and Lighthouse in CI;
- manual keyboard-only walkthrough of all primary user flows;
- spot checks with screen-readers (VoiceOver on macOS and iOS, NVDA on Windows);
- visual review under high-contrast and reduced-motion settings;
- testing at 200% browser zoom and at the responsive 320 px breakpoint.
7. Feedback
If you find a barrier, want content in a different format, or have suggestions for improvement, please email accessibility@sifotech.co.uk. We aim to acknowledge accessibility feedback within two (2) working days and to provide a substantive response within ten (10) working days.
8. Enforcement procedure
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018 in Great Britain. If you live in Northern Ireland, complaints go to the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland (ECNI). If you are not happy with how we respond to your complaint you may contact the EHRC (or ECNI) directly.
Although these regulations apply specifically to public-sector bodies, we adopt them as a useful enforcement framework for our own conduct.
9. Review
This statement is reviewed at least annually and updated when the website changes materially or when we are made aware of a new issue. Read alongside our Equality & Diversity policy and trust centre.
