Accessibility Statement
Hackney Movers Website Accessibility Statement
Hackney Movers is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive online experience for everyone in the Hackney area and beyond. We want all visitors, including disabled users, to be able to access information about our moving services, understand our content, and complete key tasks with ease.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We aim to align our website with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 2.1 at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content more usable and accessible for people with a wide range of abilities, including users with visual, hearing, motor, and cognitive impairments. Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we review our website regularly to improve the experience for everyone planning a move in Hackney.
Measures We Take to Support Accessibility
We work to embed accessibility into the design, development, and content of the Hackney Movers website. This includes using semantic HTML structures, clear headings, descriptive text, and consistent navigation patterns. Our goal is to help visitors find information about local moving services in an accessible Hackney Movers area without barriers.
WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance
We strive to meet WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria across the website. This includes ensuring sufficient colour contrast between text and backgrounds, providing meaningful form labels, using descriptive text for buttons and interactive elements, and avoiding content that flashes or may trigger seizures. We also work to ensure that information and functionality are available without relying solely on colour, sound, or pointer-based interactions.
Screen Reader Support
The Hackney Movers website is designed to work with common screen readers by using clear headings, ordered and unordered lists, and descriptive alternative text for meaningful images. Where appropriate, we provide descriptive titles and labels to help screen reader users understand the purpose of each section or control. We avoid using images of text where possible, and when such images are necessary, we provide suitable text alternatives so that content about moving services in Hackney remains accessible.
Keyboard Navigation
We aim to ensure that all essential functions on the Hackney Movers website can be accessed using a keyboard alone. Users should be able to move through menus, forms, and content using keyboard tab, arrow, and enter commands without becoming trapped in any component. We also work to maintain a visible focus indicator so that users can easily see which element is currently selected when navigating without a mouse.
Supported Browsers and Devices
Our website is tested on modern browsers and is designed to be responsive across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. We aim to support built in zoom functions and operating system accessibility tools so that people in the accessible Hackney Movers area can browse our content in a way that best suits their needs.
Ongoing Improvements
Accessibility is an ongoing process. As we update the Hackney Movers website with new features or information about moves in and around Hackney, we continue to review and improve accessibility. We may introduce new tools or refine existing components to better support screen readers, keyboard users, and other assistive technologies.
Feedback and Accessibility Requests
We welcome feedback on the accessibility of the Hackney Movers website. If you experience barriers, find content difficult to access, or need information about our services in a different format such as large print or plain text, you can contact us using the contact form on our website or by writing to our registered business address. Please provide details of the page or feature you were using and the nature of the difficulty so we can investigate and work to resolve the issue.
Reasonable Adjustments
Where reasonably possible, we will make adjustments to help you access our moving services in the Hackney area. This may include alternative ways to provide information, assistance with completing online forms, or accessible communication options tailored to your specific needs.
Review of This Statement
This Accessibility Statement will be reviewed and updated periodically to reflect ongoing improvements, changes to accessibility standards, and feedback from users. We are dedicated to making our website and services as inclusive as possible for everyone who relies on Hackney Movers.
