Accessibility Statement

Loco Digital Limited wants everyone to be able to use loco.ie, whatever device you are on and whatever you use to read it. We build accessible sites for other people, so it would be a poor showing not to hold our own to the same standard.

The standard we build to

This site is built to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. That is the same standard referenced by EN 301 549, the European standard for accessible ICT.

What that means in practice

Every page can be used with a keyboard alone, and the focus indicator is visible on light and dark backgrounds. Headings, landmarks and form labels are marked up so a screen reader can navigate the page properly. Text reflows without sideways scrolling down to 320 pixels wide, and at 200 per cent zoom. Form errors are announced, linked to the field they belong to, and focus moves to the first one. Images that carry meaning have text alternatives, and decorative ones are hidden from assistive technology.

If your device is set to reduce motion, we respect it: the reveal animations and page transitions stop, carousels stop moving on their own, and decorative video is not even downloaded.

How we test it

We run axe-core across every page on the site at 390 and 1440 pixels wide, and we review the wide layout by eye at 2560 pixels as well. We then test by hand for the things a scanner cannot judge: keyboard order, focus visibility and its contrast, target sizes, reflow, reduced motion and form error behaviour. Colour contrast is measured from the pixels actually painted on screen rather than from the stylesheet, because elements that animate in can hide a failure from automated tools. The last full pass was on 16 September 2026.

Known limitations

We would rather tell you what is not perfect than claim everything is.

• Embedded videos. Three case studies and our marketing and video page carry Vimeo players. Nothing of Vimeo’s loads until you press play on the still image, and from that point the controls, the captions and the keyboard behaviour inside the player belong to Vimeo rather than to us. The showreels and the client promos have no caption track. If you would like what one of them shows set out in text, ask and we will write it for you.
• Booking panel. Pressing “Book a free 30-minute call” loads Calendly’s own booking form inside the page. Its markup, labels, focus order and error handling are Calendly’s, and we cannot alter them. If it does not work for you, email hello@loco.ie or call +353 1 554 7325 and we will put the call in the diary for you.
• Silent video. A few pages carry short video clips that we host ourselves, including the platform overview on the ESMA case study. None of them has a soundtrack, so there is no audio to caption. What they show is described in the text beside them.
• Decorative graphics. The page-not-found screen carries a faint “404” watermark that is deliberately low in contrast, and the contact page carries a small greyscale map of where we are. Neither carries information that is not also written out: the 404 message and the full address are both there as text, and both graphics are hidden from screen readers.
• The spam check on the forms. The enquiry forms are protected by Google reCAPTCHA v3, which loads only once you start filling one in and never asks you to identify a traffic light or type out distorted text. Its floating badge is hidden, so instead of a graphic in the corner the disclosure sits as a line of text below the form, where a screen reader reads it in order with the rest of the fields and it can be zoomed and reflowed like any other copy. If a submission ever scores too low for us to tell you from a bot, the message that comes back names our email address and phone number, so a low score is never the end of the road for a real person.
• Motion. Content reveals as you scroll. This is switched off automatically when your system asks for reduced motion, but if you would like it off and your device has no such setting, tell us and we will help.
• Automated testing has limits. A scanner cannot tell you whether wording is clear or whether a layout makes sense. Real feedback from people using the site catches what tools do not.

We do not publish PDFs on this site. If we send you a document you cannot read, ask and we will send it in another format.

Tell us if something does not work

If any part of this site is hard to use, we want to hear about it. Email hello@loco.ie or call +353 1 554 7325, and tell us the page and what happened. We aim to reply within five working days, and we will either fix it or give you the content another way while we do.

If you are not satisfied with our answer, say so in your reply and it will be escalated to a director.

Reviewing this statement

This statement was prepared in September 2026 following our own testing of the site, described above, and was last reviewed on 16 September 2026. We re-run the audit before each release and review this page at least once a year, updating the date at the top when anything changes.
