Accessibility Statement for Gardeners Harlesden

Gardeners Harlesden is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive online experience for all visitors, including disabled people, older users, and those using assistive technologies. We aim to make information about our accessible gardeners in the Harlesden area clear, usable, and available to as many people as possible.

Our Accessibility Commitment

We are working towards compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide range of abilities and assistive tools, and more user friendly for everyone. Our goal is to ensure that people in Harlesden can find and use information about our gardening services without unnecessary barriers.

Measures We Take

To support accessible gardening services in Harlesden, we aim to:

Provide clear and consistent page layouts and structure.

Use headings and paragraphs to organise content so that it is easier to navigate.

Offer text alternatives for non text content where possible, so that key information is available to screen reader users.

Use sufficient colour contrast between text and background to support users with visual impairments.

Ensure that information is not conveyed by colour alone.

Keep the language on our website as clear and simple as is appropriate for our services in the Harlesden area.

Screen Reader Support

Our website is designed to be compatible with common screen reader technology. We aim to use meaningful page titles, headings, and descriptive text so that screen readers can interpret the content accurately. We also aim to provide descriptive alternative text for images where these images contain important information about our gardening services or the Harlesden area.

If you use a screen reader and find any part of the site difficult to understand or navigate, you can contact us to describe the issue. This helps us improve the experience for you and for other visitors who rely on assistive technology.

Keyboard Navigation

The Gardeners Harlesden website is intended to be navigable using a keyboard alone, without requiring a mouse or touch input. Users should be able to move through links and interactive elements using the tab, shift plus tab, and arrow keys, and to activate controls with the enter or space keys.

Our focus styles are designed to be visible, so you can see which element on the page is currently selected while tabbing. If you find that any part of the site cannot be accessed or operated using only a keyboard, please let us know so we can address it.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing process. As we add new content or features related to our gardening services in Harlesden, we review them for accessibility and work to resolve any issues we discover. We also periodically review existing pages and content to maintain and improve compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
