Accessibility at Gardeners Canning Town

Gardeners Canning Town is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive experience for everyone who uses our gardening services in the Canning Town area. We want all visitors, including disabled people, older people and those using assistive technologies, to be able to access information about our gardeners, local services and support without barriers.

This Accessibility Statement explains how we work towards accessibility, the standards we aim to meet and how you can contact us to request additional support or improvements.

Our commitment to accessibility

We are working towards full compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, at the AA level. These internationally recognised guidelines explain how to make websites more accessible for people with a wide range of access needs, including users with visual, hearing, cognitive and motor impairments.

Our goal is for people looking for gardeners in Canning Town and surrounding neighbourhoods to be able to find, understand and use our information with ease, regardless of the device, browser or assistive technology they choose.

Screen-reader and assistive technology support

The site is designed to work with common screen-readers and assistive technologies. We use clear headings, logical structure and descriptive text so that people who rely on audio or braille output can navigate through our gardening content efficiently.

Where possible, we provide meaningful alternative text for images, particularly when photographs are used to show examples of gardening work in Canning Town. Decorative images are marked so that they can be skipped by screen-readers. We also aim to use clear and simple language to make the information easier to understand for a wide range of users.

Keyboard navigation and focus

Users can navigate our site using only a keyboard, without needing a mouse or touch screen. This is important for people who rely on keyboard navigation, switch devices or other alternative input methods.

We aim to ensure that all interactive elements, such as menus, forms and buttons, can be reached and activated via the keyboard. Focus indicators are used so that it is always clear which part of the page is currently selected. This should help visitors move through information about gardening services in Canning Town step by step, without losing their place.

Readable design and layout

We strive to present text and images in a clear, consistent and uncluttered layout. Colour contrast is chosen to make content easier to read, particularly for people with low vision or colour blindness. Font sizes are set so that they can be resized using standard browser controls without breaking the layout.

Content is written to be as clear and direct as possible, helping both experienced and first‑time gardening customers in Canning Town quickly find the information they need about our services.

Ongoing improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review our website and content to identify issues and make improvements. As our gardening services in Canning Town grow and change, we will continue to check new pages and features against WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines and update this statement when significant changes are made.

Contact for accessibility requests

If you experience any difficulty using the Gardeners Canning Town website or if you need information about our gardening services in a different format, you can contact us with your accessibility request. You may, for example, ask for large print, plain text explanations or additional descriptions of images showing work carried out by our gardeners in the Canning Town area.

When you contact us, please describe the page or section where you had a problem, what you were trying to do and the assistive technology, browser or device you were using. This information helps us understand and resolve issues more quickly. We will review your request and aim to respond as soon as reasonably possible, working with you to find an accessible solution.

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of our gardening information and services in Canning Town, as it helps us continue to improve the experience for all visitors.
