Gardening Mortlake Accessibility Commitment
Our Accessibility Statement outlines how Gardening Mortlake (also described as gardening in Mortlake and Mortlake gardening services) works to make web content and in-person garden experiences inclusive for everyone. We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards and describe the measures we have taken to support keyboard navigation and screen-reader support for people accessing information about Mortlake gardeners and local accessible gardening projects.
We use semantic HTML, clear heading structures, and consistent navigation patterns to improve usability for visitors exploring gardening in Mortlake. The site and our local services are designed with contrast, predictable layout, and text resizing in mind to make content readable and understandable. Our goal is to remove barriers for residents and visitors interested in accessible garden spaces in the Mortlake area.
Specific technical steps include ongoing testing against WCAG 2.1 AA, implementation of ARIA where appropriate, and optimization for popular screen readers. We also ensure that Mortlake gardening pages include descriptive link text, properly labeled form controls, and structured lists so assistive technologies can convey content clearly.
We prioritize keyboard navigation so that people can interact with content about Mortlake gardening without a mouse. Keyboard users can access the main navigation, skip to content links, and all interactive controls. Keyboard focus is visible and logical across pages, making it easier to explore community garden details and gardening Mortlake resources.
Screen-reader support includes meaningful alternative text for images describing garden features, ARIA roles for complex widgets, and labelled headings and landmarks. These improvements help people using assistive technology to learn about accessible raised beds, pathways, and Mortlake gardening sites.
We also mind file formats and multimedia: captions and transcripts are provided for audio and video related to Mortlake gardening events whenever possible. Where full captions or transcripts are not immediately available, accessible alternatives are offered on request.
Our accessibility practices include regular audits and user testing with diverse participants interested in gardening Mortlake activities. We schedule reviews to maintain compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA and to refine features that benefit people with mobility, visual, auditory, and cognitive differences.
To make content more usable we offer:
- Keyboard navigation support for menus and interactive garden maps
- Screen-reader friendly markup for descriptions of Mortlake gardeners and garden locations
- Clear visual presentation with adjustable text size and high-contrast options
