Our Accessibility Standards
We work to align this website with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 2.1 level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide range of abilities, including those with visual, hearing, cognitive, and motor impairments.

Screen Reader Compatibility
This website is designed to work with modern screen readers and other assistive technologies used by people in the accessible Hammersmith Carpet Cleaners area and beyond. We aim to provide clear heading structures, descriptive page titles, and meaningful labels that support efficient navigation by screen reader users.
We strive to ensure that images include text alternatives where needed so that key information about our carpet cleaning services is not lost to users who cannot see graphics. Where images are decorative and add no important information, they may be marked so that they can be skipped by assistive technologies.

The website is developed to be usable with a keyboard alone, without the need for a mouse or touch input. This is particularly important for visitors with limited mobility or those who prefer keyboard-based browsing.

We work to maintain good colour contrast between text and background so content remains readable for users with low vision or colour vision deficiencies. Text is written in clear, plain language wherever possible, particularly when describing Hammersmith Carpet Cleaners services, pricing information, and booking options.
We avoid relying solely on colour to convey meaning and aim to keep page layouts consistent, so users can predict where important information, navigation, and contact options appear across the site.
