Accessibility Statement

Deerwood Construction Ltd is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability, across Crowborough, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Uckfield and surrounding areas in East Sussex and Kent.

Our Commitment

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. We design, build and review content using semantic HTML, sufficient colour contrast, keyboard operability and meaningful link text. We use Elementor Pro and the Ally accessibility plugin within WordPress to help identify issues and improve the user experience.

Website owner: Deerwood Construction Ltd, 50 Stone Cross Road, Crowborough, East Sussex, TN6 3DF

Measures We Take

Design & Content

  • Use of headings, lists and landmarks for assistive technologies.
  • Readable fonts, responsive layouts and sufficient contrast ratios.
  • Meaningful alt text for informative images (decorative images marked appropriately).
  • Descriptive buttons and links that make sense out of context.

Technical

  • Keyboard and focus visibility checks for interactive components.
  • Form labels, error messaging and accessible validation.
  • ARIA attributes used sparingly to enhance semantics where needed.
  • Regular scans with Ally and manual testing with screen readers and keyboard-only navigation.

Compliance Status

We are working towards WCAG 2.2 Level AA compliance. Parts of the content may not fully meet the guidelines; our continuous improvement plan addresses any issues we discover during reviews and when new features are added.

Known Limitations & Planned Improvement

  • Third-party embeds: Some third-party widgets (e.g., maps or social media) may not fully meet WCAG criteria. We monitor these and seek accessible alternatives where feasible.
  • Legacy media: Older project images may lack detailed alt text. We are updating media descriptions as part of routine maintenance.
