A Website Accessible to All

At NurtureNest Care Services, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone.

We understand that people access the internet in various ways, so we have designed our website to be clear, simple, and user-friendly for all users. If you have any questions, suggestions, or feedback about the accessibility of our site, please get in touch with us. We are continually working to improve the experience for all visitors.

Our website includes several features aimed at improving accessibility for users with impairments or special needs. We are also continuously developing in-house editorial guidelines to ensure that all content remains accessible.

Standards Compliance and Validation

We adhere to the XHTML 1.0 and CSS standards set by the W3C. We believe that usability and accessibility should form the foundation of our website. We have also worked towards achieving AA-level accessibility as defined by WCAG 1.0. While we have made every effort to meet these standards, we acknowledge that some aspects of WCAG may be subjective, and we strive to interpret these guidelines as accurately as possible.

Layout

The website utilizes cascading style sheets (CSS) for visual layout. For browsers that do not support stylesheets, we have tested the content flow to ensure it remains clear and accessible. A separate print stylesheet is used to remove unnecessary navigation elements when printing.

Navigation and Navigation Aids

Primary navigation is located at the top of each page. Secondary navigation elements are typically located in the left-hand column, though this may not appear on all pages. A link to the home page is available on every page via the NurtureNest Care Services logo. All navigation elements are marked as HTML unordered lists and styled using CSS.

Semantic Markup

Our website uses structured, semantic markup. H1 tags are used for primary headings, and H2 tags are used for subtitles to ensure proper structure and clarity.

Imagery

We use descriptive alternative text (alt text) for all content images to ensure they are accessible to screen readers. Decorative images will have empty alt text, as they do not convey relevant content.

JavaScript

While we use JavaScript to enhance the user experience, we have ensured that our website remains accessible even with JavaScript disabled. Some features may not function as intended without JavaScript, but the core content remains accessible.

Text Resizing

Font sizes on our website can be adjusted by changing the settings in your browser. We have used relative font sizes to ensure our site adapts smoothly to your personal needs.

Colour

We have carefully selected foreground and background colours to provide adequate contrast for readability. This ensures that text and other elements are easy to read for everyone.

If you encounter any issues or have suggestions for improving the accessibility of our site, please feel free to contact us. We are dedicated to making NurtureNest Care Services’ website accessible for all users.
