At Florist Ardleigh Green, we believe that every customer in Ardleigh Green, regardless of ability, should have an easy and enjoyable experience when ordering from our online florist. We are committed to providing a website that is accessible for all users, including those with disabilities, and we continuously strive to improve the accessibility of our online store.

Standards and Guidelines

Florist Ardleigh Green’s website has been designed to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA. These guidelines provide clear standards for web accessibility and ensure our site is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for the widest possible audience.

Screen Reader Compatibility

We understand the importance of screen readers for many of our Ardleigh Green customers. Our online florist platform is built and tested to function seamlessly with popular screen reader software. This includes clear navigation, properly structured headings, and meaningful alternative text for images—enabling users to order flowers online with confidence and ease.

High Contrast Design

To support customers with visual impairments, Florist Ardleigh Green utilises a high contrast design across our website. Text and backgrounds are carefully chosen for optimal legibility, allowing both low-vision users and those with colour vision deficiencies to navigate and complete orders comfortably. Buttons and links are also easily distinguishable throughout the purchasing process.

  • Keyboard-friendly navigation for customers who do not use a mouse
  • Consistent structure and clear information hierarchy on all pages
  • Scalable text that remains readable when resized up to 200%
  • Descriptive form fields, buttons, and error messages to guide smooth flower ordering
  • Alt text for all key images and floral product photos
  • No use of flashing or auto-playing elements that could cause discomfort

Ongoing Improvement

We recognise that accessibility is an ongoing process. Florist Ardleigh Green regularly reviews and tests its website using both manual and automated accessibility tools. We welcome user feedback as an essential part of this process. Our aim is to stay current with accessible florist best practices and to adapt to evolving accessibility standards.
