Accessibility statement
DGTL targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance.
Accessibility is a product requirement on every engagement we deliver. That standard applies to the DGTL website itself. This page documents our conformance target, the current scope, known issues, how to report a barrier, and our enforcement procedure.
Last reviewed 2026-08-18
Conformance target
- Standard
- Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. Mapped to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and EN 301 549 for enterprise and public sector procurement.
- Scope
- The public DGTL website at withdgtl.com and every subpage. Third-party embeds (Cal.com, future analytics vendors) inherit their own conformance level; DGTL is responsible for the surfaces DGTL builds.
- Status
- Partially conformant. A full accessibility remediation pass shipped with the site launch, and conformance is reviewed on an ongoing basis. The Known Issues section below tracks what remains, each item with a dated remediation target.
- Assessment approach
- A combination of automated scanning (axe-core in CI, Lighthouse Accessibility), manual keyboard walks, and screen reader verification with NVDA on Firefox and VoiceOver on Safari. A formal VPAT 2.5 ACR is in progress.
Conformant patterns
Patterns DGTL implements site-wide to meet or exceed WCAG 2.2 AA. Not an exhaustive list, but the load-bearing commitments.
- Skip-to-content link at the top of every page
- Semantic HTML5 landmarks (header, nav, main, footer) with accessible names
- Heading hierarchy starting at a single H1, monotonic H2 through H6
- Keyboard-reachable primary navigation including the Services mega menu (Enter, Space, ArrowDown to open, Escape to close)
- Focus-visible outline on every interactive element (2px coral-700, 2px offset)
- prefers-reduced-motion respected across every Motion component via a centralized getVariants helper
- Minimum 44x44 touch targets on mobile controls
- Form labels tied to inputs via htmlFor, errors announced via a single atomic aria-live region
- SVG data visualizations expose structured readouts via <title>/<desc> and a visually-hidden <dl>
- Animated counters expose their final value to assistive tech immediately via sr-only text
- Contact form server action redirects to a dedicated /contact/thank-you route for predictable post-submission focus and announcement
Known issues
Honest disclosure of where DGTL is not yet at the target. Each item has a description, impact, and remediation plan.
- Cookie consent banner
Issue: The current cookie consent banner is a custom component, not a certified consent management platform.
Impact: Does not yet produce a signed audit trail of consent choices or expose every granular vendor toggle that a strict CMP offers.
Plan: Scheduled for replacement with a certified consent management platform (Cookiebot, Osano, or CookieYes), alongside the analytics and advertising rollout.
- VPAT 2.5 Accessibility Conformance Report
Issue: A formal VPAT 2.5 ACR is not yet published against the public website.
Impact: Enterprise procurement teams that require a signed VPAT as a gating document cannot self-serve it from this page yet.
Plan: Draft targeted for Q4 2026 once the remaining known issues below are closed. The VPAT will be made available on request via the /trust page.
- Video captions and transcripts
Issue: DGTL does not yet host video content on the public website.
Impact: Not an active gap today, but any video added in the future will require captions (WCAG 1.2.2) and a transcript (WCAG 1.2.3) at publish time.
Plan: Captions and transcripts are a required deliverable on every video production in the DGTL Studio practice. The standard applies to DGTL's own content as well.
Feedback and reporting a barrier
If you hit an accessibility barrier on any DGTL page, please let us know. We acknowledge reports within 48 hours and prioritize fixes alongside active development.
- Accessibility contact:
- accessibility@withdgtl.com
- Response target:
- 48 hours for acknowledgement. Remediation timeline depends on severity and the active sprint window.
- What to include:
- The URL, a description of the barrier, your assistive technology and browser if relevant, and whether a workaround exists.
Enforcement procedure
DGTL is committed to resolving reported barriers in a timely manner. If a report is not acknowledged or resolved to your satisfaction, escalate to hello@withdgtl.com with a reference to the original report.
