Blackdown IT - Accessibility Statement

Updated: 30 July 2025

 

Blackdown IT Limited is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. Based in the Blackdown Hills, near Taunton, Somerset, our goal is to provide bespoke, custom-coded websites that are inclusive, user-friendly, and compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA standards.

 

Our Commitment

 

We strive to make the Blackdown IT Limited website (https://blackdownit.co.uk) accessible to everyone, regardless of ability or technology used. Our custom-coded approach prioritises:

  • Perceivable Content: Clear text, images, and media with alternatives like alt text for images and captions for videos.

  • Operable Design: Intuitive navigation compatible with keyboards, screen readers, and assistive technologies.

  • Understandable Information: Simple, consistent layouts and content for ease of use.

  • Robust Functionality: Websites tested for compatibility across devices, browsers, and assistive tools.
     

Measures Taken

  • All websites developed by Blackdown IT Limited, including our own, are designed with accessibility in mind, adhering to WCAG 2.1 principles.

  • We conduct regular testing using tools like screen readers and automated accessibility checkers to identify and address barriers.

  • Visual elements, such as professional photography or drone shots, include descriptive text to ensure inclusivity.

  • We optimize load speed and performance to enhance usability for users with varying internet connections.
     

Known Limitations

While we aim for full accessibility, some third-party content (e.g., external links or embedded media) may not fully meet WCAG standards. We are actively working to address this by selecting accessible third-party tools and providing alternatives where possible. If you encounter any issues, please let us know.

Feedback and Contact

We welcome feedback to improve accessibility. If you experience difficulties accessing any part of https://blackdownit.co.uk or have suggestions, please contact us:

We’ll work with you to address concerns and ensure content is accessible, such as providing alternative formats where needed.

Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is a core priority at Blackdown IT Limited. We regularly review and update our website to maintain compliance with WCAG standards and incorporate user feedback. Our development process includes accessibility testing during design, development, and post-launch to ensure consistent usability for all visitors.

Compatibility

This website is designed to work with modern browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari) and assistive technologies like NVDA and VoiceOver. For the best experience, ensure your browser is up to date.
