Accessibility Statement
We aim to make the balconiuk.com website (“Website”) as accessible and easy to use as possible for all visitors, regardless of the technology they use or any accessibility requirements they may have.
Website Navigation
The Website has been structured to make it easy to find information and move between pages.
A "Skip to Content" link is available when navigating with a keyboard, allowing users to move directly to the main page content without having to tab through the navigation menu.
Navigation menus are clearly organised and labelled.
The Website can be accessed using a keyboard as well as a mouse or touchscreen.
Compatibility with Screen Readers
We use recognised web standards to help assistive technologies understand and interpret our content.
Pages are built using clear, structured headings and sections.
Areas such as the header, navigation, main content and footer are clearly identified for screen reader users.
Buttons, icons and links include descriptive labels so their purpose is clearly communicated.
Expandable menus and tabs provide information about their current state to assistive technologies.
Images
We aim to ensure that important visual content is accessible.
Images that convey information include descriptive alternative text (alt text) so screen readers can describe them to users.
Decorative images are hidden from assistive technologies where appropriate, reducing unnecessary distractions.
Motion and Animations
Some areas of the Website use animations and interactive features to enhance the user experience.
Users who have enabled a "Reduce Motion" setting on their device or browser will automatically see fewer animations and transitions.
Core content and Website functionality remain available even where visual effects are reduced.
Text and Zoom
We want content to remain readable across different devices and user preferences.
Text can be resized using browser settings without affecting the functionality of the Website.
The Website is designed to adapt to different screen sizes and zoom levels.
Website Technology
The Website is built using modern web technologies and accessibility best practices.
We use modern web technologies (HTML and CSS coding language) to create a clear, well-structured Website that works across different devices.
