At Northumberland Living, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including people with disabilities. We are continually working to improve the user experience and apply relevant accessibility standards across our website.

​

Our Commitment

We aim to make our website as accessible as possible by:

  • Designing content that can be navigated and understood by screen readers

  • Ensuring good colour contrast and legible font sizes

  • Making our site usable with keyboard-only navigation

  • Avoiding the use of flashing or distracting content

  • Providing alternative text for all meaningful images

  • Using clear, simple language wherever possible

Our goal is to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA.

​

Accessibility Features

Some features we’ve implemented include:

  • Alt text for images and non-text elements

  • Keyboard navigation compatibility for menus and interactive sections

  • Responsive design for use on mobile, tablet, and desktop devices

  • Consistent page structure and heading levels for easier screen reader use

  • Form labels and instructions for better form usability

​

Limitations and Known Issues

​

While we strive to meet accessibility standards across all pages, there may be some areas that need improvement, especially when using third-party content or older project visuals. We are actively reviewing and updating our site to address:

  • Some older PDFs may not be fully accessible to screen readers

  • Third-party embedded content (e.g., maps, booking platforms) may not meet all accessibility standards

  • Occasional video or image elements may lack full captions or descriptive text

If you experience any accessibility barriers, please let us know so we can address them as soon as possible.
