Accessibility at Merton Cleaners
Merton Cleaners is committed to making our website and online services accessible and usable for everyone in the Merton area and beyond, including people with disabilities. We want customers to be able to research our cleaning services, request information, and contact our team with ease, regardless of the technology they use or any accessibility requirements they may have.
Our accessibility commitment
Our goal is to align our website with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, WCAG 2.1, at the AA level. These guidelines define how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide range of needs, including those who use assistive technologies. By working towards WCAG 2.1 AA, we aim to offer a more inclusive online experience for everyone considering Merton Cleaners for their domestic or commercial cleaning needs.
We are continually reviewing our website content, structure, and design to support users who live or work in the accessible Merton Cleaners area, ensuring that our online information is clear, readable, and easy to navigate.
Screen-reader compatibility
The Merton Cleaners website is designed to be compatible with modern screen-reader software. We use clear heading structures, descriptive text for important images, and meaningful labels for interactive elements where possible. This helps users who rely on screen readers to understand our cleaning services, prices, and booking information without needing to see the screen.
We aim to write concise, descriptive page titles and headings so that users can quickly identify relevant information about Merton cleaning services, including domestic cleaning, office cleaning, and specialist services in the local area.
Keyboard navigation
Our website is intended to be navigable using a keyboard alone, without a mouse. Users should be able to move through menus, forms, and content areas using standard keyboard commands such as the Tab, Shift plus Tab, Enter, and arrow keys. We aim to maintain a visible focus indicator, so it is clear which element is currently selected when using the keyboard.
We regularly review forms and interactive areas of the site to reduce barriers for users who rely on keyboard navigation, ensuring that booking requests and contact forms for Merton Cleaners can be completed as smoothly as possible.
Text clarity and readability
To support users with visual or cognitive impairments, we aim to maintain sufficient colour contrast between text and background. We also work to keep the language on our site clear and straightforward, particularly when describing cleaning packages, service options, and any terms and conditions for customers in the Merton Cleaners area.
Where possible, we avoid relying solely on colour to convey meaning, and we aim to use headings and spacing to break up content into manageable sections, making it easier to scan and understand.
Ongoing improvements
Accessibility is an ongoing process. As our cleaning business and website grow, we will continue to review and improve the way information is presented. We periodically test our pages and update code and content with the aim of maintaining or improving alignment with WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines.
If we identify issues that might affect users with disabilities in the accessible Merton Cleaners area, we will look for practical solutions that improve the experience for everyone, whether they are booking a one-off clean or arranging regular visits.
