Accessibility Statement

Accessibility at Gardeners Lea Bridge

Gardeners Lea Bridge is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive digital experience for all visitors in the Lea Bridge area. We want everyone to be able to use our website and access information about our gardening services, regardless of technology, location, or individual needs.

Our Accessibility Commitment

Our goal is for the Gardeners Lea Bridge website to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, Level AA. These internationally recognised guidelines explain how to make web content easier to see, understand and use for as many people as possible, including people with disabilities and people using assistive technologies.

We aim to integrate accessibility into the planning, design and ongoing improvement of our website, and to make accessibility a central part of how we communicate information about gardening services in Lea Bridge.

Support for Screen Readers and Assistive Technologies

The Gardeners Lea Bridge website is designed to work with modern screen readers and assistive technologies. We use clear heading structures to describe the page content, meaningful text for buttons, and descriptive alternative text for important images wherever this is needed to understand the content.

We avoid using images or colour alone to communicate essential information about our Lea Bridge gardening services. Where we present information such as prices, service descriptions or special offers, we aim to do so in a way that can be interpreted by screen readers and other assistive tools.

Keyboard Navigation

The website is designed to be navigable using only a keyboard, without the need for a mouse or trackpad. Users should be able to move through menus, links, forms and interactive sections using the Tab, Shift plus Tab, Enter and arrow keys.

We aim to maintain a clear focus indicator so that keyboard users can easily see where they are on the page. Interactive elements are designed to be reachable and usable in a logical order, helping visitors to quickly find details about accessible gardeners and gardening services in the Lea Bridge area.

Text, Colour and Layout

We use a layout and typography that are intended to be clear and easy to read. Text can be enlarged using browser zoom tools without losing access to core content or requiring horizontal scrolling on most devices.

We aim for sufficient colour contrast between text and background so that content remains legible for people with low vision or colour vision differences. Information about Gardeners Lea Bridge services is presented with readable fonts and consistent spacing to reduce visual clutter.

Compatible Browsers and Devices

Our website is developed to work on a range of modern browsers and devices commonly used in the Lea Bridge community. This includes current versions of major desktop and mobile browsers. For the best experience, we recommend keeping your browser and operating system up to date.

Some older browsers or devices may not fully support all accessibility features. However, we aim for graceful fallback so that important information about our gardening services remains available in a usable form.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review the Gardeners Lea Bridge website to identify opportunities for improvement and to address issues that might affect visitors in the Lea Bridge area with different access needs.

As web standards and assistive technologies evolve, we will continue updating our site to maintain and enhance alignment with WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines.
