Accessibility Commitment for Gardeners Kenton

Gardeners Kenton is committed to providing an accessible online experience for all visitors, including disabled people, older users, and those using assistive technologies. We aim to make it easy for everyone in the Kenton area and beyond to learn about and request our gardening services in a way that suits their needs.

Our Accessibility Standards

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, Level AA. These internationally recognised guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide range of needs, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive and neurological differences.

By working towards WCAG 2.1 AA, our goal is to offer a website that is perceivable, operable, understandable and robust, so that as many people as possible can use our online information about gardeners in the Kenton area with confidence.

Screen Reader Support

The Gardeners Kenton website is designed to be compatible with commonly used screen readers. We strive to use clear headings, meaningful page titles and descriptive text so content can be understood when read aloud. Images used on the site aim to include alternative text where appropriate, helping people who rely on non-visual access to understand key information about our accessible gardening services in Kenton.

We also aim to keep content structure simple and logical, which can improve navigation for screen reader users moving through pages by headings, regions and links.

Keyboard Navigation

Our website is intended to be fully usable with a keyboard, without the need for a mouse or touch screen. Visitors should be able to move through menus, forms and content using standard keyboard commands such as the Tab, Shift plus Tab, Enter and arrow keys.

We aim to maintain a clear and visible focus indicator so that people can see which element is currently selected when tabbing through the page. This supports users who rely on keyboard navigation, switch devices or alternative input tools when exploring information about gardeners in Kenton.

Supported Browsers and Devices

The Gardeners Kenton website is tested on a range of modern browsers and devices. We aim to provide a consistent experience on desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile screens, including when text is resized or pages are viewed in high zoom. We also strive to ensure that content remains readable and functional when users adjust browser or operating system settings for contrast, colours or fonts.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review our website content, design and code to identify opportunities to improve access for all users. When we introduce new features or information about our gardening services in the Kenton area, accessibility is considered as part of the design and development process.

While we work hard to achieve and maintain WCAG 2.1 AA standards, we recognise that some areas of the site may still need improvement. We welcome feedback to help us identify any issues that may affect your ability to use the site.
