Accessibility Statement
Accessibility at Putney Carpet Cleaners
Putney Carpet Cleaners is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive experience for all customers in the Putney area, including disabled people and those using assistive technologies. This Accessibility Statement explains the steps we take to make our website and online information about our carpet cleaning services as usable as possible for everyone.
Our Accessibility Commitment
We aim to align our website with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, at the AA level. These guidelines describe how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.
Our goal is that customers looking for accessible Putney carpet cleaners can browse, understand, and interact with our content without facing unnecessary barriers. We are continually working to improve our website and apply accessibility best practice wherever possible.
Screen Reader Support
Our website is designed to be compatible with modern screen-reader technology so that customers who are blind or have low vision can access information about our carpet cleaning services in Putney. We aim to use clear headings, logical content order, and descriptive text to support screen-reader navigation.
Images that convey important information are given descriptive text where practicable, so that assistive technologies can communicate the purpose of each image. We also aim to keep decorative images and visual elements from interfering with screen-reader output.
Keyboard Navigation
The site is designed to support navigation using only a keyboard. Customers who cannot use a mouse should be able to move through menus, forms, and content areas using the Tab, Shift plus Tab, Enter, and arrow keys. We aim to keep a logical focus order so that users can predict where the next tab stop will be.
Interactive elements such as buttons, form fields, and navigational links are designed to be reachable and operable from the keyboard. We aim to ensure visible focus indicators so users can see which element is currently selected when booking our carpet cleaning services or requesting information for the Putney area.
Readable Content and Design
We work to present our content in a clear, readable way. This includes using straightforward language, meaningful headings, and sufficient colour contrast between text and background. We avoid relying solely on colour to convey important information about our services or prices.
Pages are designed to be responsive so that customers can view content comfortably on a range of devices and screen sizes. Text can typically be enlarged using browser zoom functions without loss of content or functionality.
Ongoing Improvements
Accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review our website and the information we provide about carpet cleaning in Putney to identify areas that can be improved. As standards and technologies evolve, we will continue to adjust our design, content, and code to support an accessible user experience.
Some legacy content or third-party elements may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA recommendations. Where this occurs, we aim to provide an accessible alternative or update the content as soon as reasonably possible.
Requesting Assistance or Alternative Formats
If you experience any difficulty accessing information on our website, or if you need details about our Putney carpet cleaning services in an alternative format such as large print or plain text, you can contact us using the contact form on our website or by visiting our premises in person.
Please include a description of the problem you encountered, the page where it occurred, and any assistive technology you were using. This information helps us address the issue more quickly and improve the experience for other users.

If you have suggestions on how we can make our website or information more accessible, we welcome your comments.
