Our Accessibility Commitment

Our goal is for the Carpet Cleaning Richmond upon Thames website to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, known as WCAG 2.1, at the AA level. These guidelines are recognised internationally as a benchmark for creating accessible websites. By working towards WCAG 2.1 AA, we aim to offer a digital experience that is perceivable, operable, understandable and robust for all users, including those who use assistive technologies.

Screen Reader Support

The Carpet Cleaning Richmond upon Thames website is designed to work with modern screen reader software. We use clear heading structures, descriptive page titles and meaningful text for buttons and controls, so that visitors who rely on audio output or braille displays can navigate our content more easily.

Where images are used to illustrate our carpet cleaning work in Richmond upon Thames, we aim to provide alternative text descriptions so that important information is not lost to users who cannot see the images. Decorative images that do not add meaningful information are marked so that screen readers can skip them and reduce unnecessary noise.

Keyboard Navigation

Our website is being developed so that key information about carpet cleaning services in Richmond upon Thames can be accessed using only a keyboard. This includes moving through menus, forms and buttons using standard keyboard commands such as the Tab, Shift plus Tab and Enter keys.

We aim to maintain a logical focus order, so that keyboard users can follow a clear path through each page. Visible focus indicators are used to show which element is currently selected, helping users track their position on the page without relying on a mouse or trackpad.

Text, Layout and Readability

We aim to present information about our carpet cleaning services in Richmond upon Thames in a clear and readable format. This includes using high colour contrast between text and backgrounds where possible, using legible font sizes and writing in plain language to make our content easier to understand.
