Accessibility at Alderframe.

We want Freshli, RouteSky, SaySpace and this website to work for as many people as possible. This statement says plainly what we do, what we aim for, and where we know we fall short. It is written to be honest rather than reassuring.

What our apps support

Freshli, RouteSky and SaySpace are built natively in Swift and SwiftUI, which means they inherit the accessibility features built into iOS rather than reimplementing them. Across the apps we support:

• VoiceOver — labelled controls, meaningful reading order, and grouped elements where that makes a screen easier to move through.
• Dynamic Type — text scales with your system setting, including the larger accessibility sizes.
• Reduce Motion — animations and transitions are shortened or removed when you have this on.
• Increase Contrast and Bold Text — respected throughout.
• Reduce Transparency — translucent materials fall back to solid surfaces.
• Dark and light appearance — both are first-class, following your system setting.
• Haptics — used to confirm actions, and never as the only way information is conveyed.

This website

alderframe.co.uk is built as plain HTML and CSS with a small amount of JavaScript. It works without JavaScript, follows your system light or dark setting, respects prefers-reduced-motion, uses semantic landmarks and headings, provides a skip link, keeps visible keyboard focus, and is designed to reflow to 320 px without horizontal scrolling. We aim for WCAG 2.2 Level AA as a design target.

What we do not claim

We have not carried out a formal third-party conformity assessment against EN 301 549 or WCAG, and we do not claim full conformity. Saying otherwise would be easy and untrue.

Alderframe Ltd is a micro-enterprise as defined in Article 3(23) of Directive (EU) 2019/882 (the European Accessibility Act) and is therefore exempt from that Directive’s accessibility requirements for services under Article 4(5). We publish this statement voluntarily. In the United Kingdom the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 do not apply to us; the duty we do owe is the Equality Act 2010 duty to make reasonable adjustments, which we take seriously.

Known limitations

• RouteSky — the live map and 3D navigation view are inherently visual. Guidance is spoken and the key journey information is available to VoiceOver, but the map itself is not fully explorable with a screen reader.
• RouteSky — the route weather timeline conveys a lot through colour; we pair it with text, but at very large Dynamic Type sizes some of the timeline compresses.
• SaySpace — images posted by other people carry alternative text only where their author provided it. We prompt for it; we cannot guarantee it.
• SaySpace — News tab headlines come from third-party feeds and we cannot control the accessibility of the pages they link out to.
• Freshli — barcode and receipt scanning depend on the camera and on visual framing; every item can also be added manually, and that path is fully accessible.
• This website — a small number of decorative SVG compositions are hidden from assistive technology rather than described, because they carry no information.

Tell us about a barrier

If something in one of our apps or on this site is difficult or impossible for you to use, please tell us — it is the fastest way for it to get fixed. Email [email protected] with “Accessibility” in the subject line. Tell us what you were trying to do, which app or page, and what got in the way. We aim to reply within 5 working days.
