Accessibility

Built for everyone, not most people.

We tell clients that accessibility is a requirement, not a retrofit, so it's only fair to hold our own site to the same bar. Here's the standard we build to, where we know we can still do better, and how to reach us if something gets in your way.

Our commitment

We want everyone to be able to read, navigate, and use this site, regardless of ability or the technology they rely on. Accessibility isn't a box we tick at the end; it's part of how we design and build from the first sketch, on our own work and on the work we do for clients.

The standard we build to

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, the benchmark most public institutions and organizations are held to. In practice that means semantic HTML, clear heading structure, sufficient color contrast, visible focus states, descriptive text for meaningful images, a skip-to-content link, and a site you can operate by keyboard alone, not just by mouse.

Being honest about the gaps

This site is hand-built and always being refined, and accessibility is never truly "finished." Some pages will be further along than others, and there may be spots we haven't caught yet. If you run into one, we genuinely want to know; you'll be helping us fix something real, and we won't be defensive about it.

Tell us if we've missed the mark

If any part of this site is hard to use, or you need information here in a different format, email info@designmine.so. Let us know the page and what got in your way, and we'll reply within one business day and work with you to get you what you need.

Updates

We revisit this as the site grows and improves. This statement was last updated on August 18, 2026.
