Accessibility Statement for Gardeners Kennington
Gardeners Kennington is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive online experience for all visitors in the Kennington area and beyond. We want everyone to be able to access information about our gardening services, understand our content, and contact us easily, regardless of technology, device, or individual ability.
Our Accessibility Commitment
Our goal is for the Gardeners Kennington website to conform to 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 disabilities, including people who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, and alternative input devices.
By working towards WCAG 2.1 AA, we aim to provide a consistent, perceivable, operable, and understandable experience to all visitors looking for local gardeners in the Kennington area.
Measures We Take to Support Accessibility
To help make the Gardeners Kennington website more accessible, we apply a range of technical and design measures, including:
Using clear, structured HTML so that headings, paragraphs, and lists are properly identified by assistive technologies. Providing descriptive text for images wherever relevant, especially where images convey important information about our gardening services. Maintaining sufficient colour contrast between text and backgrounds to support visitors with low vision or colour vision differences. Designing page layouts so that content reflows logically on different screen sizes, including mobile devices commonly used in the Kennington area.
Screen Reader Compatibility
The Gardeners Kennington website is designed to work with modern screen readers. We aim to use meaningful headings, labels, and alternative text so that content can be explored and understood when using a screen reader. Where possible, we avoid relying solely on visual cues such as colour or position to convey information about gardening services, prices, or booking options.
If you experience any difficulty using a screen reader on our site, you can contact us to describe the issue and the page where it occurred so we can review and improve the experience.
Keyboard Navigation
We aim to ensure that the Gardeners Kennington website is fully usable with a keyboard alone, without the need for a mouse or trackpad. This includes:
Navigating between links, buttons, and form fields using the Tab, Shift plus Tab, and Enter keys. Providing a logical focus order so that moving through the page follows the visual and structural layout. Ensuring interactive elements are reachable and operable by keyboard, including menus, forms, and controls related to our gardening services in Kennington.
If you find that any part of the site cannot be reached or used with a keyboard, please let us know.
Ongoing Improvements and Limitations
We recognise that web accessibility is an ongoing process. While we work to maintain and improve WCAG 2.1 AA alignment, some content or features may not yet fully meet these standards. This may include older pages, embedded content, or items provided by third-party services.
We regularly review the Gardeners Kennington website, prioritising updates that improve accessibility for visitors in the Kennington community and surrounding areas.
