Accessibility Statement

Accessibility at Barnes Man and Van

Barnes Man and Van is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive online experience for all visitors, including disabled users. This Accessibility Statement explains the steps we take to make our accessible Barnes man and van website easy to use, the standards we aim to meet, and how you can contact us with any accessibility feedback or requests.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We aim for our website to be usable by as many people as possible, regardless of technology, ability, or location. Whether you are comparing local removals or booking an accessible Barnes man and van service, we want you to be able to find the information you need and complete your tasks without barriers.

We work to design, develop, and maintain our website in line with recognised best practice and web standards, and we review our content regularly to keep it clear, consistent, and readable.

Standards and Compliance

Our goal is to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines are widely recognised as the benchmark for creating accessible websites. They cover areas such as text alternatives, adaptable layouts, distinguishable content, keyboard accessibility, enough time to read and use content, and clear navigation.

While we strive for full WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, accessibility is an ongoing process. We carry out periodic checks to identify issues and work to resolve them as quickly as possible.

Screen Reader Support

The Barnes Man and Van website is designed to be compatible with current versions of major screen readers. We use semantic HTML so that headings, paragraphs, and lists are announced in a logical order whenever possible. Images that convey meaning are given descriptive alternative text so that screen reader users can access the same information as sighted users.

We also aim to provide clear and descriptive labels for buttons, forms, and navigation elements so that you can understand their purpose when using a screen reader or other assistive technology.

Keyboard Navigation

Our accessible Barnes man and van site is intended to be navigable using only a keyboard, without the need for a mouse or touch screen. You should be able to move through menus, forms, and content using the Tab, Shift plus Tab, Enter, and Arrow keys.

We work to ensure that the keyboard focus is visible and follows a logical order across the page. This helps users who rely on keyboard navigation to know exactly where they are on the site at all times.

Text, Layout, and Colour

We aim to use clear language, consistent headings, and structured content so you can scan and understand the page quickly. We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 AA colour contrast requirements so that text is readable against its background for users with visual impairments.

Where possible, our layout supports resizing text without loss of content or functionality, enabling users to adjust their browser or device settings to suit their needs when browsing information about Barnes man and van services.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is a continuous effort. As we add new content or features about our Barnes man and van services, we review them to keep them aligned with WCAG 2.1 AA guidance. We also monitor changes in standards and assistive technologies so we can continue to improve the experience for every user.
