Strand Removals Accessibility Statement

Strand Removals is committed to providing an accessible online experience for all customers and visitors, including disabled users and those using assistive technologies. This Accessibility Statement explains the steps we take to support inclusive access to our website and digital services for people living in and around the Strand area.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We aim for our website to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, hearing, cognitive, and motor impairments. By working towards WCAG 2.1 AA, we also aim to improve usability for everyone planning a move with Strand Removals.

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review our content, design, and code to identify areas where we can improve the experience for all visitors, including those in the accessible Strand Removals area who may rely on assistive tools.

Screen-Reader Support

Our website is designed to work with modern screen-reader software. We aim to use clear headings, descriptive text, and meaningful alternative text for important images so that users who cannot see the screen can still understand what each page contains. Wherever possible, we provide text-based information for any essential visual content, such as icons, buttons, and banners related to our moving services.

We also aim to ensure that form fields, buttons, and interactive elements are correctly labelled so they can be announced accurately by screen readers. This helps users understand the purpose of each element when booking a move, requesting a quote, or learning more about our removal services.

Keyboard Navigation

The website is designed to be navigable using a keyboard alone, without the need for a mouse or touch screen. You should be able to move through links, buttons, and form fields in a logical order using the Tab, Shift plus Tab, and Enter keys. We aim to keep a clear focus indicator visible so that you can see which element is currently selected.

We work to minimise keyboard traps, where a user might become stuck in a certain part of the page. Our goal is that all users, including those who rely on keyboard navigation, can browse information about our Strand removals services, complete forms, and contact us with confidence.

Text, Layout, and Visual Design

We aim to use readable fonts, sufficient colour contrast between text and background, and clear spacing to support users with low vision or reading difficulties. Wherever possible, the layout is designed to adapt to different screen sizes and zoom levels so that content remains accessible on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices used in the Strand area and beyond.

We also aim to avoid using colour alone to convey important information. When we use icons, headings, or emphasised text, we try to ensure that meaning is still clear without relying solely on colour.

Ongoing Improvements

We understand that accessibility is not a one-time project. As web standards, assistive technologies, and user needs continue to evolve, we will keep reviewing and improving the accessibility of our website. This includes testing new pages, updating existing content, and listening carefully to feedback from customers who use different access methods.
