Gardening Wimbledon Accessibility Statement

At Gardening Wimbledon we are committed to making our information and services accessible to everyone in the Wimbledon gardening community. Our aim is to reduce barriers for people of all abilities who seek help with gardening in Wimbledon and nearby neighbourhoods. We design content with inclusive principles and continually review features to ensure a welcoming, usable experience for local gardeners and clients.

We follow recognised accessibility best practices, including WCAG 2.1 AA compliance as our baseline standard. This means improved colour contrast, clear heading structure, and predictable navigation. Screen-reader support is a key part of our approach: pages are structured semantically so assistive technologies can interpret the content reliably.

Our site and service information support keyboard navigation so people who cannot use a mouse can move through pages, menus and forms using the keyboard alone. We provide visible focus indicators, logical tab order, and skip links where appropriate to help users reach main content quickly and efficiently.

How Gardening Wimbledon makes content accessible

We implement a range of accessibility features for gardening in Wimbledon area content. Key features include:

• Semantic HTML and clear heading levels to support navigation by assistive tools.
• Descriptive link text and meaningful button labels to clarify purpose.
• Alt text for images and accessible captions for important visuals where relevant.
• Responsive layouts that adapt to different devices used by Wimbledon gardeners.

We test with common screen readers and browsers to validate that individuals using assistive technology can access the same Gardening Wimbledon information as other users. Where interactive tools are provided, we aim for keyboard operability and ARIA attributes used only when necessary and applied correctly to avoid confusion.

Ongoing testing and improvements

Our team monitors accessibility performance and conducts periodic reviews. We run automated checks alongside manual testing that includes keyboard-only audits and screen-reader walkthroughs. If an accessibility barrier is identified, we document the issue, prioritise fixes, and update our content to improve the experience for Wimbledon gardeners and colleagues.

We recognise that one size does not fit all and that individual needs vary across the Wimbledon gardening community. If you require materials in an alternative format such as large print, plain text, or need further assistance understanding service descriptions for gardening in Wimbledon, we will make reasonable adjustments wherever possible.

To request an accommodation or raise an accessibility concern, please use the contact channels provided on this site or the accessibility options embedded within service pages. We review requests promptly and aim to respond within a reasonable timeframe. We encourage reports that include a clear description of the issue and how it affects your ability to access Gardening Wimbledon services.

Our commitment to accessible Gardening Wimbledon area services is ongoing. We welcome suggestions that help us improve. If you encounter barriers, tell us which page or element caused difficulty and what device or assistive technology you were using. We will take steps to address the concern and update our practices to better serve the Wimbledon gardening community.
