Website Accessibility Statement
At Kingfisher Direct Ltd, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users including individuals with disabilities. We are continually working to improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards.
Commitment to Accessibility
We believe that everyone, regardless of ability, should be able to access the information and services available on our website. Our goal is to provide an accessible, user-friendly experience for all visitors, and we strive to meet or exceed accessibility guidelines as set out in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1
Accessibility Features and Improvements
To ensure our website is accessible to as many users as possible, we will be implementing several key features:
- Keyboard Navigation: Our site is fully navigable using a keyboard. All interactive elements (e.g., links, buttons, form fields) can be accessed via keyboard shortcuts.
- Text Alternatives: All images and non-text content on our site include alternative text (alt text) that describes the content or function of the image.
- Color Contrast: We use high contrast color combinations to ensure text is easily readable by users with visual impairments. This includes sufficient contrast between back-ground and text colors.
- Adjustable Font Sizes: Users are able to adjust text sizes and spacing via their browser or device settings to enhance readability.
- Accessible Forms: All forms on our site include clear labels, instructions, and error messages to help users understand and complete the forms correctly.
- Transcripts and Captions: We provide text transcripts for all audio content and closed captions for video content to assist users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
- Mobile Accessibility: Our site is fully responsive and optimized for mobile devices. It is designed to work well with mobile accessibility features such as voice-over, magnification, and high-contrast modes.
Compatibility with Assistive Technologies
We aim to ensure our website works well with a variety of assistive technologies, including but not limited to:
- Screen Readers: Our site is compatible with screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver, ensuring that text is read aloud accurately to users who are blind or have low vision.
- Speech Recognition: Our site is designed to be compatible with speech recognition software, allowing users to interact with the website via voice commands.
