Accessibility Statement for Gardeners Parsons Green

Gardeners Parsons Green is committed to providing an inclusive and accessible online experience for all visitors, including people with disabilities. We aim to make it easy for everyone in the Parsons Green area to find and use information about our gardening and outdoor services, regardless of technology, ability, or environment.

Our Accessibility Commitment

Our goal is to design, develop, and maintain this website in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, WCAG 2.1, at the AA level. These guidelines provide a recognised framework for making web content more accessible to people with a wide range of needs, including visual, hearing, motor, and cognitive impairments.

By working towards WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, we aim to ensure our Gardeners Parsons Green website is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. We review our content, layout, and features regularly to maintain and improve accessibility over time.

Screen Reader Compatibility

This website is designed to work with modern screen reader software so that visitors who rely on audio or braille output can access our information about gardening services in Parsons Green. We aim to:

Use clear heading structures to describe page content and hierarchy. Provide informative page titles and labels to help users understand the purpose of each page and control. Offer descriptive alternative text for meaningful images so that key information is available even when images cannot be seen. Avoid using images of text wherever possible, and when they are required, we aim to provide equivalent text descriptions.

Keyboard Navigation

Our site is built so that most content and interactive elements can be accessed using only a keyboard. This is important for users who cannot use a mouse or prefer keyboard navigation. You should be able to:

Move through links, buttons, and form fields using the Tab, Shift plus Tab, and Enter keys. Identify where you are on the page using a visible focus indicator that highlights the active element. Submit forms and activate most controls with the keyboard alone, without requiring pointer input.

If any part of the Gardeners Parsons Green website cannot be accessed using only the keyboard, we would like to hear from you so we can investigate and improve it.

Readable and Understandable Content

We aim to write content in clear, plain language, describing our gardening and outdoor services in Parsons Green in a straightforward way. We avoid unnecessary jargon and try to keep sentences and paragraphs concise. We also use headings and spacing to break up text for easier scanning and reading.

Supported Browsers and Devices

The site is intended to work across a range of modern web browsers and devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Using the latest version of your preferred browser and enabling accessibility features, such as zoom or high contrast modes, can improve your experience.

Ongoing Accessibility Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing process. As we update or expand our Gardeners Parsons Green website, we aim to review new features for compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA principles. We may also consult external guidance or tools to identify issues and explore better solutions.
