Accessibility Statement
Last updated: 4 November 2026
NØMM designs websites that are usable by as many people as possible. That applies to our own site too. Below are the measures we've actually implemented, along with known limitations of this website.
Measures implemented
- A "Skip to content" link for keyboard and screen reader use, right at the start of every page
- Semantic structure with page regions (header, navigation, main content, footer) and a clear heading hierarchy (h1 → h2 → h3)
- Full keyboard operation, including the menu (Escape closes it) and the before/after slider; a visible focus ring on all interactive elements that the fixed header never covers
- A light colour scheme with contrast between text and background of at least 4.5 : 1 (verified by calculation)
- Scalable type and layouts: content can be enlarged and adapts down to a width of 320 px without requiring horizontal scrolling
- Alt text on all content-bearing images; purely decorative elements (mood photographs on the home page, rings, lines, ticker, catalogue stages) are hidden from screen readers or replaced by a short text
- Motion in moderation, and switchable: the scenes on the home page and in the catalogue (ring opening, step sequence, horizontal strip, text that fills in, ticker) move only while you scroll; nothing keeps running by itself. The “Pause animations” switch in the footer stops all effects. With the
prefers-reduced-motionsystem setting on, all animations are removed and content appears directly in a calm version; the same applies to a very low window height. - No tracking cookies and no content loaded from third-party servers; the pages remain readable and usable without JavaScript
- Inquiry form with labelled fields, error messages next to the field concerned (focus moves to the first field with an error) and full keyboard operation; without JavaScript the email address is shown instead
Known limitations
This website is under ongoing development. This statement describes the current state of our own testing (manual checks plus calculated contrast measurements). It is not a certification against a specific WCAG conformance level, and an independent third-party audit is still outstanding. The reduced previews in the shop windows of the Work street are hidden from screen readers; the shop windows themselves are links with a name, a short description and a destination. The concept websites behind them (in German) are built on the same principles but have not yet been independently audited. The text fill effect deliberately shows words you have not yet read in a dimmed colour (contrast below 4.5 : 1) until they reach full colour as you scroll; with the “Pause animations” switch or with reduced motion the text is fully legible at once. If you notice a barrier not listed here, please contact us using the details below. We prioritise fixing reported issues and usually reply within two business days.
