At [Optician's Name], we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We strive to provide a positive and inclusive experience for all visitors by adhering to best practices and accessibility standards. This accessibility statement outlines the measures we have taken to make our website user-friendly and accessible, as well as our ongoing commitment to improving accessibility.
We aim to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level, which are recognised and adopted as the international standard for web accessibility. These guidelines help us create a website that is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users.
Our website includes the following accessibility features:
Text Alternatives: We provide text alternatives for non-text content, such as images, to ensure that it can be perceived by all users, including those using screen readers.
Keyboard Navigation: Our website is navigable by keyboard alone, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all interactive elements.
Consistent Structure: We use a consistent layout and navigation structure across all pages to make it easier for users to find information.
Readable Text: We ensure that text is clear and readable, with sufficient contrast between text and background colors. Font sizes can be adjusted using browser settings.
Accessible Forms: Our forms are designed with accessibility in mind, including clear labels, instructions, and error messages to assist users in completing them.
Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML to improve the accessibility of our content, making it easier for screen readers to interpret and navigate.
We understand that accessibility is an ongoing process and are continually working to enhance the usability and accessibility of our website. We regularly review our website to identify and address any accessibility issues. Our team is trained to follow best practices in web accessibility, and we welcome feedback from users to help us improve.
We value your feedback and are committed to addressing any accessibility issues promptly. If you experience any difficulty accessing our website or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us:
