Accessibility Statement
Accessibility Commitment for Gardeners Bermondsey
Gardeners Bermondsey is committed to making our online information and gardening services accessible to as many people as possible in the Bermondsey area and beyond. We aim to provide a positive digital experience for all visitors, including people using assistive technologies or different input methods.
Our Accessibility Standards
We are working to align this website with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, Level AA. These internationally recognised guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for disabled people and more user friendly for everyone. Our goal is that people looking for gardeners in Bermondsey can access information easily, clearly, and consistently.
As part of this aim, we focus on clear structure, logical navigation, readable text, and consistent layouts. We strive to ensure that content about our gardening services, from lawn care to planting and maintenance, is understandable and perceivable to as many users as possible.
Support for Screen Readers
This website is designed to work with modern screen readers and text-to-speech tools. We use headings, paragraphs, and other HTML elements in a meaningful order so that screen reader users can move through content efficiently. Images used to explain our Bermondsey gardening services are given descriptive text where appropriate, so that the purpose of each image is available to users who cannot see it.
We aim to keep decorative images to a minimum, and where they are used, they are implemented in a way that does not add unnecessary noise for screen reader users.
Keyboard Navigation
The website is intended to be fully usable with a keyboard, without requiring a mouse or touch input. Users should be able to move through menus, forms, and content areas using the Tab, Shift plus Tab, Enter, space, and arrow keys. Focus indicators are used so that you can easily see where you are on the page when navigating by keyboard.
If you are using keyboard navigation to explore gardeners and services in Bermondsey, the structure of the page is designed to help you move in a logical order, from main navigation to key content and contact sections.
Browser and Device Compatibility
We aim to support current versions of major browsers on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. The layout is responsive so that information about our gardening services in Bermondsey can be accessed on different screen sizes without horizontal scrolling or loss of essential content.
Text is designed to remain readable when zoomed in, and the site should remain functional when users change basic browser settings such as font size.
Ongoing Accessibility Improvements
Accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review content and design choices to reduce barriers and improve usability for everyone, including people with visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments. When adding new content or features related to Gardeners Bermondsey, we aim to apply accessibility best practices from the planning stage onward.
