Highbury Carpet Cleaners Accessibility Statement

Highbury Carpet Cleaners is committed to providing a website and service experience that is accessible, inclusive, and easy to use for all customers in the Highbury Carpet Cleaners area. We aim to ensure that everyone, including people with disabilities, can access information about our carpet cleaning services, request quotes, and arrange visits as independently as possible.

Our Accessibility Commitment

We are working towards meeting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, version 2.1, at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of abilities, including those who use assistive technologies. By following these guidelines, we aim to improve the digital experience for all our visitors in the Highbury Carpet Cleaners area, regardless of device, browser, or access needs.

Our goal is to build and maintain a site that is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust, in line with WCAG 2.1 AA principles. We regularly review key pages and customer journeys, including booking, service information, and contact options, to identify and fix accessibility issues.

Screen Reader Support

The Highbury Carpet Cleaners website is designed to work with commonly used screen readers. We use clear headings, descriptive page titles, and logical content structure to make it easier for screen reader users to navigate the site and understand our services.

Images that convey important information are provided with alternative text, wherever possible, so that users who cannot see images can still access the content. We avoid using images of text where text could be used directly. Forms and interactive elements are labelled to help screen reader users understand what each field or control is for.

Keyboard Navigation

We recognise that some users rely on a keyboard or alternative input device rather than a mouse. The Highbury Carpet Cleaners site is being developed so that the main navigation, service pages, and key forms can be accessed using only the keyboard.

Interactive elements follow a logical tab order, and focus indicators are used to show which element is currently selected. Where possible, we avoid using features that require complex gestures or precise pointer movements, so customers in the Highbury Carpet Cleaners area can browse and book services with simpler keyboard controls.

Text, Colour and Layout

We aim to use clear, readable text and sufficient contrast between text and background colours to support users with visual impairments, including colour blindness and low vision. Content is structured using headings and short paragraphs to make it easier to scan and understand.

The layout is designed to adapt to different screen sizes, helping users on mobiles, tablets, and desktops. Where possible, pages can be resized without loss of content or functionality, supporting users who zoom in to read text more comfortably.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We continue to review our website, content, and booking experience to identify areas where we can improve. As we expand or update our carpet cleaning services and information for the Highbury Carpet Cleaners area, we aim to embed accessibility considerations into our design and development decisions.
