Accessibility policy

This is the accessibility statement for www.home-improvements-hampshire.co.uk. This website has been designed to be accessible to all users, as far as is practical.

A variety of accessibility tests have been run and all pages have been manually reviewed. I believe all pages comply with all accessibility standards and guidelines from the W3C and the WAI.

If you feel that this website does not adhere to these guidelines please contact me. I will rectify the problem immediately.

Standards Compliance

There is no validation tool for meeting DDA accessibility requirements. W3C validations are commonly accepted as being a good indicator of accessibility.

This website aims to conform to W3C priority 1, 2 and 3 guidelines as well as WAI triple AAA guidelines.
