Accessibility Statement — Digital Bridge

Our commitment

We believe the web should be usable by everyone. Accessibility is built into our design and development process — not bolted on at the end.

Standards we follow

• WCAG 2.2 Level AA as our baseline for production builds.
• Responsive design across mobile, tablet and desktop breakpoints.
• Semantic HTML with proper heading hierarchy and landmarks.
• Keyboard navigation support for all interactive elements.
• Sufficient colour contrast using design-system tokens.
• Descriptive alt text on meaningful images.
• Readable layouts with scalable typography and clear spacing.

This website (DigitalBridge.ie)

DigitalBridge.ie targets WCAG 2.2 AA. We test with screen readers (VoiceOver, NVDA), keyboard-only navigation, and automated tooling (Lighthouse, axe). Some legacy third-party embeds (e.g. video players) may not fully conform; we work to provide accessible alternatives.

Known limitations

If you find content that is difficult to use, please let us know — we will treat it as a priority.

Ongoing improvement

We review accessibility quarterly and after major updates. Findings feed back into our build standards.

Feedback and contact

If you encounter an accessibility barrier on this site or on a site we have built, email [email protected] or call 085 224 1848. We aim to respond within 5 business days.

Enforcement

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission or the National Disability Authority's Centre for Excellence in Universal Design.

European Accessibility Act 2025

The European Accessibility Act, transposed in Ireland by S.I. 636/2023, has applied since 28 June 2025. It requires many consumer-facing digital services — ecommerce, banking, ticketing, ebooks and certain apps — to meet accessibility requirements aligned with EN 301 549 and WCAG 2.1 AA. Microenterprises providing services are exempt from some obligations, but the exemption is narrower than most businesses assume. If you are a client selling to consumers online, we will tell you plainly whether your build is in scope, what conformance means in practice, and what it costs to close any gap. We do not certify legal compliance — that is a matter for your own legal advisers — but we will not tell you a site is accessible when it is not.

Public sector clients

Public bodies in Ireland are covered by S.I. 358/2020, which implements the EU Web Accessibility Directive and requires WCAG 2.1 AA conformance plus a published accessibility statement and feedback mechanism. Work we deliver for public bodies is scoped against that standard, and we hand over the evidence needed for your own statement.

How we test

Automated tooling catches roughly a third of real accessibility issues, so every build also gets a manual pass: keyboard-only navigation through each primary journey, screen-reader review of forms and navigation, contrast checks on the design tokens rather than on individual components, and a check that content still works at 200% zoom and with reduced motion enabled.
