At Kilwins, we strive to ensure that our website is accessible to all individuals, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. We are committed to providing an inclusive and user-friendly experience for everyone who visits our site. This accessibility statement outlines our ongoing efforts to maintain an accessible website and our commitment to compliance with relevant accessibility standards.

Standards and Guidelines

We have designed and developed our website to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level. These guidelines are established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and are widely recognized as the industry standard for web accessibility.

Accessibility Features

Here are some of the accessibility features we have implemented on our website:

Alternative Text: We strive to provide alternative text descriptions for all meaningful images on our site. This allows users who rely on screen readers or have images disabled to understand the content of the images.
Keyboard Navigation: Our website can be navigated entirely using a keyboard, without the need for a mouse. We have implemented appropriate focus indicators to ensure easy identification of interactive elements.

Clear and Consistent Design: We have taken steps to maintain a clear and consistent design throughout our website, with legible fonts, appropriate color contrasts, and organized layouts. This improves readability and helps users with visual impairments access the content effectively.

Captions and Transcripts: For multimedia content, such as videos and audio, we aim to provide captions and transcripts to make the information accessible to individuals with hearing impairments or those who prefer text-based content.

Responsive Design: Our website is designed to be responsive and adaptable to different screen sizes and resolutions, including mobile devices and tablets. This ensures that users can access our content regardless of the device they are using.

Ongoing Efforts

We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website. This includes regular audits, user testing, and collaboration with accessibility experts to identify and address any potential issues. We are dedicated to providing an inclusive experience and are committed to making necessary adjustments to ensure accessibility.

Third-Party Content

While we strive to ensure accessibility within our website, we may occasionally feature third-party content or link to external websites. We recognize that some of these sources may not meet the same accessibility standards as our site. However, we make every effort to select reputable sources and provide accessible alternatives whenever possible.

Accessibility is an ongoing commitment, and we value the input of our users. We will continue to assess, evaluate, and enhance the accessibility of our website to provide a positive experience for all users.
