At Ku Ku Designs, we believe that digital services should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their ability. We are committed to making our website and digital services accessible and inclusive to all users. This Accessibility Digital Services Policy outlines our commitment to accessibility and the steps we take to ensure that our website is accessible to everyone.
Standards and Guidelines
We strive to ensure that our website and digital services comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, which is an internationally recognised standard for website accessibility. We use accessibility software and tools to help us identify and fix accessibility issues on our website, and we regularly conduct accessibility audits to ensure that our website meets these standards.
Accessible Design
We design our website with accessibility in mind. We use high contrast colours, clear typography, and alt tags for images to ensure that our website is easy to navigate and understand. We also ensure that our website is compatible with assistive technologies such as screen readers, text-to-speech software, and braille displays.
Accessible Content
We strive to ensure that all content on our website is accessible to all users. We use plain language and avoid using jargon or complex language that may be difficult to understand. We also provide alternative formats for content such as transcripts for videos and audio descriptions for images, to ensure that users with disabilities can access the same content as other users.
Keyboard Navigation
We ensure that our website can be navigated using a keyboard alone, which is an essential feature for users who are unable to use a mouse or other pointing device. Our website is designed to allow users to navigate using the tab key, and we provide skip links to allow users to jump to the main content of each page.
Assistive Technologies
We recognise that users with disabilities may use a range of assistive technologies to access our website. We test our website with a range of assistive technologies to ensure compatibility and usability. We also provide training and resources to our staff to help them understand how assistive technologies work and how to create accessible content.
Reporting Accessibility Issues
We encourage users to report any accessibility issues they encounter while using our website. We provide a dedicated email address, accessibility@kukudesigns.co.uk, for users to report issues and provide feedback. We respond to all accessibility inquiries and work to address any issues as quickly as possible.
Continuous Improvement
We recognise that accessibility is an ongoing process, and we are committed to continuously improving the accessibility of our website and digital services. We regularly review our accessibility policies and practices to ensure that they remain effective and up-to-date. We also seek feedback from users and accessibility experts to help us identify areas for improvement.
Conclusion
Ku Ku Designs is committed to providing an inclusive and accessible website and digital services to all users. We understand the importance of accessibility and the impact it can have on users with disabilities. We hope that our Accessibility Digital Services Policy will contribute to creating a more inclusive and accessible online world for everyone.
