Accessibility Statement for Man and Van Barnes

Man and Van Barnes is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive online experience for all visitors, including disabled customers and those using assistive technologies. This Accessibility Statement explains the steps we take to make our Man and Van Barnes service information usable for as many people as possible across the Barnes area and beyond.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We aim to align our website and digital content with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, WCAG 2.1, at the AA level. These guidelines are internationally recognised standards that describe how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, hearing, cognitive, and motor impairments.

By working towards WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, we intend to ensure that customers seeking an accessible Man and Van Barnes service can find, understand, and use our content with minimal barriers.

Measures We Take

To support accessibility across our Man and Van Barnes website, we have implemented or are in the process of implementing the following measures:

Use of clear headings and structure so that content is easy to follow and logically grouped.

Consistent navigation patterns, helping users quickly locate key information about our man and van services in Barnes.

Readable fonts, appropriate colour contrast, and simple layouts to support users with visual or cognitive difficulties.

Descriptive labels, instructions, and error messages in forms to help all users complete booking and enquiry processes.

Screen Reader Support

Our site is designed to work with modern screen readers and assistive technologies. We aim to:

Provide meaningful page titles, headings, and text descriptions so that screen reader users can understand the purpose of each page and section.

Use alternative text for informative images wherever possible, allowing users who cannot see images to access the same information.

Ensure that important information about our accessible Man and Van Barnes services is available in text form and not solely conveyed by images or colour.

Keyboard Navigation

We recognise that many users rely on keyboard navigation instead of a mouse or touch screen. Our intention is to make all key parts of the website usable via keyboard only. This includes:

Allowing navigation through menus, forms, and interactive elements using standard keyboard commands such as the Tab, Shift plus Tab, and Enter keys.

Providing a clear focus state so users can see which element is currently selected via keyboard.

Reducing the need for complex gestures or timed responses whenever possible.

Supported Browsers and Devices

The Man and Van Barnes website is tested on commonly used browsers and devices. While we cannot guarantee full compatibility with all combinations of technology, we aim to support modern browsers and current versions of major operating systems, and to maintain a simple, responsive layout that adapts to different screen sizes.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We regularly review our website content and design to identify issues that may affect users seeking an accessible Man and Van Barnes service. Where we find problems, we prioritise fixes and improvements in future updates.
