Accessibility Statement
British Directory is committed to ensuring its website is accessible to all users. We believe that everyone should have equal access to the extensive business listings and industry information we provide.
This commitment extends across all our categories, from Building & Construction to IT & Computing, and from Manufacturing to Veterinary services. We work towards creating an inclusive online environment for our audience.
Our Commitment to Standards
British Directory strives to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. These internationally recognised guidelines outline how to make web content more accessible for people with various disabilities.
Our efforts align with the principles of WCAG 2.1 to improve usability for everyone. This helps ensure visitors can navigate and find information about businesses in sectors like Engineering, Food & Drink, and Hospitality & Catering.
Specific Measures Taken
We have implemented several measures to make our website accessible:
- Alternative Text for Images: All non-decorative images on our site include descriptive alternative text. This helps screen readers convey image content to users.
- Keyboard Navigation: Users can navigate all parts of the British Directory website using only a keyboard. Interactive elements receive appropriate focus indicators.
- Readable Fonts: We use clear, legible fonts and ensure text is sized appropriately. This aids readability for all users browsing categories such as Packaging or Retail.
- Sufficient Colour Contrast: Text and background colours meet WCAG 2.1 contrast ratios. This ensures text is easy to read for users with visual impairments.
- Structured Content: We use clear headings and logical content structure. This helps screen reader users understand the page hierarchy and relationships between sections.
- Descriptive Links: Link text clearly describes the destination or purpose of the link. This allows users to understand where a link leads before clicking it.
Known Limitations
While we strive for complete accessibility, some areas of the British Directory website may not yet meet every WCAG 2.1 success criterion. We recognize that occasional issues can arise, particularly with dynamic content or third-party integrations.
We are actively working to improve the user experience across all our directory listings. Our team conducts regular reviews and updates to address any identified accessibility barriers.
