Accessibility Statement

Built to be usable by everyone, whatever the device, browser or assistive technology.

Bloom Living is committed to making this website accessible to as many people as possible. We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA and follow the technical expectations of EN 301 549 and current European accessibility requirements.

Accessibility is built into the pages themselves — their structure, colours, keyboard behaviour and wording — rather than added afterwards through an overlay or widget.

  • What has been done

    The site is organised around the four principles of accessibility: perceivable, operable, understandable and robust.

    • Meaningful headings, landmarks and reading order on every page
    • A skip link and a visible focus indicator for keyboard use
    • Text contrast at or above 4.5:1, including small labels
    • Descriptive alternative text for photography; decorative images are hidden
    • Every control usable with a keyboard, including the before-and-after slider
    • Motion reduced or removed when your device asks for less motion
    • The opening animation can be skipped at any time
    • Form fields with visible labels, clear error messages and no time limits
    • Layout that reflows at 320 pixels wide and at 200% zoom
    • Language declared on every page, in all five languages
  • How it was tested

    Pages were checked with automated tools (axe-core) and by hand: keyboard-only navigation, screen-reader reading order, browser zoom, reduced-motion settings and a range of phone and desktop sizes. Testing is repeated whenever the site changes.

  • Known limitations

    Some things are still being improved.

    • The opening logo animation is an image sequence and cannot be paused mid-way; it can be skipped or, with reduced motion enabled, it is replaced by a still image
    • Before-and-after comparisons are also described in words, but the visual comparison itself is not available to screen readers
    • Some photography is concept imagery awaiting replacement with commissioned photographs
