Our aim is to align with WCAG 2.1 AA standards across content presentation and interactive features. We use semantic markup, consistent headings, and descriptive link text so that assistive technologies can parse pages easily.

Where technical constraints exist, we document exceptions and prioritize fixes in upcoming updates.

Examples include large print summaries, plain text versions, or audio-friendly transcripts of informational pages. We also ensure that any downloadable documents related to garden planning or seasonal tips are checked for accessibility before they are published. Richmond garden services aim to be flexible and responsive in offering format alternatives.
