Accessibility and dark-mode remediation
Bring an existing programme up to WCAG 2.2 AA and make it hold together in dark mode, without a full rebuild.
- Price
- From £3,500
- Time
- Two to four weeks
The problem
Contrast that fails in dark mode, logos that disappear, missing alt text and tables read aloud cell by cell. These are the most common faults in luxury email, and the easiest to fix at component level.
The European Accessibility Act now applies to many consumer services in the EU, and accessible email is simply better email for everyone.

- Brands seeing complaints about dark mode
