Accessibility Statement
We want everyone to be able to find us, read about our work, and get a price, whatever device or assistive technology they use.
A website that works for everyone
The Wairarapa Handyman is a small local business run by Bryan White. We believe a website should work for everyone, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, screen magnifiers, or voice control. We treat accessibility as part of doing the job properly, not as an extra.
WCAG 2.2, Level AA
This site is designed, built and tested to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 at Level AA, across the whole of wairarapahandyman.co.nz including the booking form. Accessibility is an ongoing commitment, so if anything on this site gets in your way, please email bryan@wairarapahandyman.co.nz or call 027 202 5876 and we will put it right.
The details
Every page can be reached and operated with a keyboard alone, and there is a skip link so keyboard and screen reader users can jump straight to the main content. Text and background colours meet the AA contrast ratio, headings follow a logical order, images carry descriptive alternative text, and every form field has a clear label. The booking form works on a phone, its controls can be reached by keyboard, and it reads your estimate aloud to assistive technology as you build it. Buttons and links are large enough to tap comfortably, and the page keeps a visible focus outline so you can always see where you are.
What we are still working on
We have made the gallery photographs smaller, so the gallery loads more quickly on a slow connection. The pictures are decorative and never carry information you need to use the site. If any page is slow or hard to use for you, please tell us.
Get in touch
If any part of this site is hard to use, please tell Bryan directly. Phone or text 027 202 5876, or email bryan@wairarapahandyman.co.nz, and describe the page and what went wrong. We will do our best to fix it, and where we cannot, to give you the same information or service another way.
