Accessibility

Later Life Money wants everyone to be able to use this website, whatever their age, eyesight or the equipment they use. We have designed it with older visitors in mind, and we aim to meet the WCAG 2.2 accessibility guidelines, level AA (opens in a new tab).

What you can do on this site

You will find these controls at the top of every page:

• Text size. Choose A, A+ or A++ to make the words larger. Your choice is remembered on your device the next time you visit.
• High contrast. Switch to a stronger colour scheme with darker text if you find the standard colours difficult to read. This choice is also remembered on your device.
• Zoom. You can also zoom the whole page to 200% using your browser, and the layout will keep working without sideways scrolling.

How the site is built

• Large, clear text. Body text starts at around 19 pixels with generous line spacing, and headings are clearly sized.
• Easy-to-read fonts. We use Lexend for headings and Atkinson Hyperlegible Next for body text, both chosen for readability.
• Keyboard friendly. Everything, including the menus, accordions and forms, can be reached and used with the keyboard alone. A visible outline shows where you are as you tab through the page.
• Large buttons and links. Buttons and controls are at least 44 pixels tall so they are easy to tap or click.
• Underlined links. Links are underlined so they are easy to spot, and links that open another website say so in the wording.
• Colour contrast. Text meets the contrast standards set out in the guidelines.
• No pop-ups. We do not use pop-ups, chat bubbles or auto-playing carousels, so nothing moves unexpectedly or covers the page.
• Gentle animation only. Any fading in is subtle, and it is switched off completely for visitors who have asked their device to reduce motion.
• Videos with captions. Our FAQ videos have captions switched on by default.
• Clear forms. Every form field is labelled, and if something is missed we explain in plain English what needs filling in, with a summary at the top.
• Sensible structure. Headings, lists and labels follow a logical order so screen readers can move around the page easily.

Known limitations

The Google reviews carousel is provided by a third-party service, and our equity release calculator is provided by Air Later Life. We cannot control the accessibility of those two tools. If you find either difficult to use, please call us and we will happily talk you through your options or read out your results.

If any part of this website gives you difficulty, please tell us and we will do our best to help. You can call us on 0330 383 0038 or email info@laterlife-money.co.uk. We aim to reply within two working days.
