Accessibility at Flowers Isle of Dogs – Online Flower Ordering for All
Our Commitment to Accessibility
At Flowers Isle of Dogs, we believe everyone should be able to enjoy the beauty and convenience of ordering flowers online. Accessibility forms a core part of our mission, ensuring that each of our Isle of Dogs customers—regardless of ability—can navigate, select, and order their favourite floral arrangements without barriers. We are dedicated to upholding digital accessibility standards that make our website welcoming and practical for all users.
Compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA Standards
Our website aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1, Level AA. These globally recognised standards provide a comprehensive framework for creating and maintaining accessible digital experiences. WCAG 2.1 AA compliance means that key aspects of accessibility—such as text alternatives for images, logical navigation, input assistance, readability, and adaptability—are considered in our design and ongoing improvements. By following these guidelines, Flowers Isle of Dogs enhances usability for customers with a wide range of abilities and assistive technology needs.
Screen Reader Compatibility
We understand how vital it is for screen reader users to have a smooth, meaningful browsing experience. Our website is regularly tested for compatibility with popular screen readers. This testing ensures that menus, headings, images, and interactive elements are appropriately labelled and accessible through keyboard navigation. We strive to make sure every customer on the Isle of Dogs can independently browse our collections, choose arrangements, and complete purchases with ease using their preferred assistive technology.
High Contrast and Visual Design
Recognising the needs of customers with low vision or visual impairments, we have implemented a high contrast design across our site. Text and backgrounds are carefully styled to maintain clear readability, and important interactive elements such as buttons and links are designed to stand out for easy identification. Our visual approach is created to minimise eye strain and ensure that information about our Flowers Isle of Dogs offerings is accessible to all.
Ongoing Accessibility Enhancements
Accessibility is never a one-time project for us—it is an ongoing commitment. We continually monitor and update our website to ensure that it evolves alongside accessibility best practices and the needs of our customers. Feedback from users helps guide our improvements, and we welcome any suggestions that may help us to better serve the whole Isle of Dogs community.
