Accessibility For everyone
who clears snow.

What has been done

• Every page has one main heading, and the headings below it follow in order. Headings that are written as brand lines also carry the plain section name, such as “1 · Blades”.
• A skip link leads past the menu to the content. Header, menu, main content and footer are marked up as landmarks.
• Everything can be reached and used with a keyboard, with a visible focus outline in brand colours. When the front page opens, the snow layer moves out of the way as soon as a link under it takes focus.
• The mobile menu closes with Escape and returns focus to the menu button. While it is open, the page behind it cannot be reached.
• Animation can be stopped. The snowfall on the front page, the moving lines and the films each have a pause button, and with reduced motion set in the operating system nothing moves and the films do not load.
• The films carry no speech or information that is not also in the text, so they are marked as decorative.
• Text meets a contrast of at least 4.5:1 against its background. Small labels on the petrol colour were made lighter to get there.
• Photos of the products and machines have text alternatives. Purely decorative images and patterns are hidden from screen readers.
• The mount plate search has a visible label, the make filter is a set of radio buttons, and the number of results is announced when it changes.
• Tables have header cells. The site works at 320 pixels wide and at 200 percent zoom without content being cut off.

How the site was checked

On 10 November 2026, against WCAG 2.2 level AA, in current Chromium-based browsers on desktop and with a phone-sized viewport.

Automated

axe-core 4.10 (WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 A and AA rules, plus best practice) on every page, and Lighthouse 13.6 through PageSpeed Insights on the front page.

Keyboard

Every page, tabbing through all links and controls: order, visible focus, the menu, the mount plate search and filter, and the pause buttons.

Small screens and zoom

Layouts at 320, 375, 768 and 1440 pixels wide.

Reduced motion

The front page and the films with reduced motion switched on.

Known limitations

• The review was carried out by the team that built the site. It has not been tested by people who use assistive technology day to day, and not with every screen reader. Automated tools find only part of the problems that exist.
• The fitment lists on the mount plate page are the manufacturers’ own and are reproduced as published, abbreviations included.
• The logo package on the brand page is a ZIP of image files for designers. It is not a document and has no text alternative beyond the file names.
• Links to global.lionparts.com lead to a separate site, which this review does not cover.
