Accessibility Statement for Gardeners Sutton
Gardeners Sutton is committed to providing an inclusive and accessible online experience for all visitors in the Sutton area and beyond, including people with disabilities. This accessibility statement explains our approach, the standards we aim to meet, and how you can contact us with any accessibility needs or feedback.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We want everyone to be able to use the Gardeners Sutton website and access information about our gardening and outdoor services in Sutton, regardless of technology or ability. We work to ensure that our digital content supports people who use assistive technologies, have different visual or hearing needs, or rely on alternative methods of navigation.
Standards and Guidelines
The Gardeners Sutton website is being developed and maintained with the aim of conforming to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, level AA. These internationally recognised guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible and user friendly for people with a wide range of accessibility needs.
We review our site regularly as we update content about our gardening services in Sutton to maintain a consistent level of usability and accessibility.
Screen-Reader Support
The Gardeners Sutton website is structured to work with popular screen readers. We aim to provide clear headings, descriptive text for images where appropriate, and informative labels for form fields so that people using screen readers can understand our gardening services and request assistance in the Sutton area.
We also try to ensure that important information about accessible garden design, maintenance, and other services is available as text rather than only as images or complex visuals.
Keyboard Navigation
Our website is designed so that visitors can navigate most pages using only a keyboard. This includes moving through menus, activating buttons, and completing forms without relying on a mouse. We aim to provide logical tab order and clear focus indicators, so users can always see which part of the page is currently selected.
If you find any part of the Gardeners Sutton website difficult to use with a keyboard, you can contact us to describe the issue and request support.
Use of Colour, Text and Layout
We aim for sufficient colour contrast between text and background to help users with low vision or colour vision differences. Text is written in clear language wherever possible, and pages are structured using headings and paragraphs so that information about our Sutton gardening services is easy to scan and understand.
The website is designed to be responsive, so it can be used on a range of devices and screen sizes, including mobile phones and tablets.
Ongoing Improvements
Accessibility is an ongoing process. As we add new content, images, and features related to gardening in Sutton, we review them for accessibility and make improvements where we identify issues. We welcome feedback from users, including disabled customers, accessibility professionals, and local community groups.
