Accessibility Statement for Kingston Maurward’s Website

We are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone, and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Conformance status and measures to support accessibility

Our website has a score surpassing 90/100 with Google’s Lighhouse / WCAG Accessibility guidelines. Below see the list of accessibility guidelines from Google’s lighthouse scan that have been met:

Additional accessibility considerations

Whilst in our native state the website doesn’t meet the ideal guidelines for contrast ratio we have gone above and beyond with a range of user-specific accessibility tools accessed from the right of the screen by selecting the accessibility icon. Within this menu, you can alter the contrast ratio, select a white or grey site experience, alter fonts, font sizes, and more to ensure a usable experience with our website. 

We are always continually working to ensure all our images have alt attributes that clearly explain them for screen readers.
