Accessibility Statement
This site is built to work for as many people as we can manage. That includes people using a screen reader, a keyboard on its own, or other assistive tools.
Every page aims to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA. Some parts meet level AAA too. We do not claim full AAA. The W3C says no site should, because AAA cannot be met for all content.
If anything here gets in your way, email guy@kirkwood.biz. Guy Kirkwood aims to reply within five working days.
Standards, Testing and Limits
What the site does
- Semantic HTML5, so a screen reader can follow the structure
- A skip-to-content link on every page for keyboard users
- ARIA labels and roles on interactive elements
- High-contrast OKLCH colour palettes
- Type that scales, so it stays clear when you zoom in
- Link text that says where it goes, which meets AAA rule 2.4.9
How it was tested
The site was checked by hand and with automated tools, most recently in July 2026. The checks covered use of a keyboard alone, screen reader output, colour contrast, and text resized to 200%.
Guy Kirkwood did the testing. No outside firm has audited the site.
Known limitations
Two things fall short of the highest standard:
- The videos on the talks and farming pages sit on YouTube. Captions depend on the original upload, and none has a sign language track, which AAA rule 1.2.6 asks for.
- Some pages use farming and technology terms that need more than a lower secondary reading level, so they do not meet AAA rule 3.1.5.
If either of these stops you getting what you need, email guy@kirkwood.biz and Guy will send it in another form.
