What we have measured, what we have not, and what to do if the site fails you.
Where we stand
We aim at WCAG 2.2 level AA. On 31 August 2026 we measured 13 pages — one of every kind on the site — at four widths from 320 to 1280 pixels, against the criteria a machine can decide. All of them passed.
What was measured: every image has an alt attribute; one h1 per page with no skipped heading levels; a main landmark on every page; text contrast at or above the AA ratio; no sideways scrolling; distinct page titles; link text that means something read alone; targets at least 24 by 24 pixels; a declared page language; a name on every control; and no positive tabindex values.
What that measurement is not
A machine can tell you an image HAS alt text. It cannot tell you the alt text is right. The same goes for whether the reading order makes sense, whether an error message can be understood, and whether a task can be completed with a screen reader from start to finish. Those need a person, and we have not yet had one do it. We would rather say so than let a green result imply more than it proves.
The audit runs from a script in this repository, so this claim can be re-checked rather than taken on trust, and it is re-run whenever the site changes.
What we fixed to get here
The first run was not clean. Body text in the lightest of our three greys sat at 3.3:1 where AA requires 4.5:1, which affected roughly a thousand pieces of text across the site; that colour was darkened. No page carried a main landmark, so somebody using a screen reader heard the masthead and navigation before reaching anything they came for; one was added to every page. Category tags were 19 pixels tall in a tight row, below the 24-pixel floor; they were made taller.
Known limits
- The site has not been tested by a person using a screen reader.
- It has not been tested with voice control or a switch device.
- Documents on other companies’ sites, which we link to, are outside our control. If one is unusable, tell us and we will say so beside the link.
If the site fails you
Write to support@buysidefintech.com, saying what you were trying to do and what happened. We will reply, and we will tell you plainly whether we can fix it and when. If something here is unusable for you, that is a defect, and we would rather hear about it than not.
