Accessibility

Our commitment

The Dry Cleaners Blog aims to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards. We believe garment care information should be accessible to all visitors regardless of disability or the assistive technology they use.

What we do

The site is built with semantic HTML, which means screen readers can navigate it correctly. All images have descriptive alt text. The colour palette meets a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for body text. Navigation and interactive elements are keyboard accessible. The site does not use CAPTCHA. Form inputs have associated labels.

The interactive tools are built with keyboard navigation in mind. The Stain Wizard, Fabric Database and Symbol Decoder can be operated without a mouse. The Garment Tracker uses standard HTML form elements that work with screen readers.

Known limitations

The laundry symbol glyphs in the Symbol Decoder are rendered as Unicode characters, which may be read inconsistently by different screen readers. Each symbol card includes a text name and description that conveys the same information.

The site uses Google Fonts loaded from an external CDN. If Google Fonts fails to load (due to network issues or ad blocking), the site falls back to Georgia for display text and system sans-serif for body text.

Reporting accessibility issues

If you encounter an accessibility barrier on this site, please tell us using the Contact page. Describe the barrier and, if possible, the page where you encountered it. We take accessibility issues seriously and will prioritise fixes.

Text size and zoom

All text on the site scales correctly when browser text size is increased. The site layout is responsive and works at all standard zoom levels up to 400% without loss of content.
