Accessibility Statement

We want everyone — including people who use assistive technology — to be able to explore Terry Barber's music, programs and tour dates. Accessibility is something we build in and keep improving, not a one-time checkbox.

Our commitment

We are committed to making this website accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of ability or technology. We aim to follow widely recognised best practices so the site works well with screen readers, keyboard navigation, voice control, browser zoom and other assistive tools.

Conformance target

We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA as our standard. These guidelines are the benchmark most commonly referenced under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and similar laws internationally. We are working toward full Level AA conformance and consider the site substantially conformant: most of the site meets the standard, and we are actively remediating the areas that do not yet fully meet it.

What we have done

Measures already in place across the site include:

Semantic HTML with landmarks and a logical heading structure.
A “Skip to content” link and full keyboard operability, with a visible focus indicator on interactive elements.
Colour contrast tuned to meet the WCAG AA minimum for text.
Respect for the operating-system “reduce motion” setting, and a visible pause control for the auto-advancing home slideshow.
Dialogs and pop-ups that trap focus, close on the Escape key, and return focus to where you were.
Form fields with labels, and errors that are announced to assistive technology.
Descriptive alternative text for meaningful images.

Known limitations

Despite our efforts, some areas are not yet fully accessible. We are working on them, and in the meantime there is always an alternative way to reach us:

Newsletter sign-up. Our tour-alert sign-up uses a third-party provider whose image-based CAPTCHA is difficult for screen-reader users. If you have trouble joining the list, email us at management@terrybarber.com and we will add you manually.
Embedded video. Some pages embed players from YouTube or Vimeo. The player controls are provided by those services and are outside our direct control.
Archive imagery. A small number of historic or third-party photographs may have less detailed alternative text; we improve these as we review them.

Compatibility

The site is designed to work with current versions of major browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari) on desktop and mobile, together with the screen readers commonly paired with them. It also supports browser zoom and text resizing.

How we assess accessibility

We evaluate the site through a combination of automated testing, manual keyboard and screen-reader checks, and contrast measurement against the WCAG criteria. Accessibility is reviewed as part of our ongoing development, not only at launch.

Give us feedback

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of this site. If you encounter a barrier, or need information in a different format, please contact us — we treat accessibility requests as a priority and will respond within a reasonable timeframe:
