Accessibility Statement for Gardeners Hammersmith
Gardeners Hammersmith is committed to making our website and online information accessible to as many people as possible, including visitors in the Hammersmith area who use assistive technologies or need a simpler browsing experience. We want everyone to be able to access information about our gardening services with confidence and ease.
Our Accessibility Commitment
We aim to make our website meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, level AA. These guidelines explain how to improve digital content for people with a wide range of access needs, including visual, hearing, motor, and cognitive differences. Our goal is to provide a clear, usable experience for all users, whether they are reading about garden maintenance, landscaping, or seasonal work in Hammersmith.
Screen-Reader Support
We work to ensure that our content is compatible with common screen-reader software. This includes using clear page structure, descriptive headings, and meaningful text so that information can be understood without relying on visual layout alone. We also aim to keep text readable and content organised in a logical order, helping screen-reader users move through the site more easily.
Keyboard Navigation
Our website is designed so that key features can be used with a keyboard alone, without requiring a mouse. This is important for users who navigate by tab key, arrow keys, or other keyboard controls. We aim to ensure that interactive elements can be reached, used, and understood in a sensible order, with a visible focus indicator to show where the user is on the page.
Readable Content and Design
We try to present our content in a straightforward way, using plain language where possible and avoiding unnecessary complexity. We also consider colour contrast, text size, and spacing so that pages are easier to read. When we update content, we continue to review it with accessibility in mind so that the experience remains practical for people across the Hammersmith area.
Accessibility Requests and Feedback
If you find any part of our website difficult to use, or if you need information in a different format, we welcome accessibility requests. We will do our best to help and to provide information in a way that works for you. If you contact us about accessibility, please let us know what part of the site caused difficulty and what support would be most helpful. This allows us to improve the experience for you and for other visitors.
Ongoing Improvements
Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we continue to review our website to identify areas where we can improve. As services and content change, we aim to keep accessibility in mind so that Gardeners Hammersmith remains easy to use for the widest possible audience. We appreciate feedback from users in Hammersmith and beyond, as it helps us make practical improvements over time.
