Accessibility for Gardeners Bethnal Green Services

We are committed to making gardening services Bethnal Green accessible to everyone. This accessibility statement explains how Gardeners Bethnal Green approaches inclusive design for our online content and in-person interactions. Our goal is to support residents and visitors with diverse needs, including people who rely on assistive technologies, by following best practices and clear, consistent content structure that benefits everyone in the local community.

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level across our core pages. That means we focus on perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust content so that people accessing gardening in Bethnal Green can find information about services, scheduling, and site accessibility. We use semantic headings, alt text for images where possible, and high-contrast palettes to improve readability for visitors with visual impairments.

In addition to technical compliance, we prioritise practical accessibility measures for Bethnal Green gardeners and clients. Our content is designed to work well with screen readers; elements are properly labelled with ARIA roles where necessary, and landmark regions are used to enable quick navigation. We also ensure that text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality, and that interactive components have clear focus indicators.

Keyboard navigation is a key feature: users can move through menus, booking widgets, and informational sections using only the keyboard. Visible focus outlines and logical tab order help people who cannot use a mouse. For our gardening services in Bethnal Green, this means accessible online booking flows, clear call-to-action buttons, and simple forms that accept keyboard input and provide useful, descriptive error messages.

Screen-reader support and assistive technology

We test with common screen readers and screen magnifiers to ensure that content about Bethnal Green gardeners is announced in a logical way. Important items such as service names, pricing options, and accessibility features are coded so screen readers can correctly present them. Where complex widgets exist we provide alternative text descriptions and skip links so users can bypass repeated blocks and reach the main content quickly.

To support a wide range of needs, we use clear language, consistent layout, and accessible tables only when needed. Lists of services are structured with

and
• elements to make scanning easy for people using assistive devices. Wherever possible we avoid relying solely on colour or shape to convey meaning and we provide redundant cues such as icons with labels.

Visual, auditory, and cognitive access

For visitors who are deaf or hard of hearing, we provide captions or transcripts for audio content about local gardening tips and service explanations. For people with cognitive disabilities, content follows predictable patterns, uses straightforward vocabulary, and breaks information into manageable sections. We also provide clear instructions for tasks such as arranging garden maintenance in Bethnal Green and explain delays or changes using plain language.

We continuously monitor accessibility by conducting audits, manual testing, and user testing with people who have lived experience. When changes are made to the site or to the way we describe garden maintenance and planting advice for Bethnal Green, we check that updates remain compatible with assistive technologies and that keyboard support and screen-reader announcements are preserved.
