At thinkingbricks we always think “customer first”. We also take care to comply with our obligations under the DDA (Disability Discrimination Act), we strive to ensure that our website is accessible to people who have visual, hearing, motor or cognitive impairments.

Making our website accessible is a core aim of this website and we try to ensure that it is usable with a broad range of devices, operating systems, browsers, and specialist assistive technologies.

As standard, we employ all of the following methods and practices to ensure that our site is accessible to as many people as possible:

• All pictures have an alternative text description
• The use of Plain English in all our written content
• We do not use HTML tables except where we need to represent normally tabulated content e.g. our contact form
• We do not use all-capitals for emphasis in regular text, we will only use capitalisation in navigation elements
• We use a hierarchy of heading markups i.e an <h1> tag for main headings, <h2> for secondary headings etc which makes it easier for screen readers to work out the stucture of a page
• Our site can be viewed in a logical order when all styling is turned off

If there is an instance when our site does not meet the need of a specific disabled user group we will strive to make changes to our current content, wherever appropriate, so that we can become more inclusive to a wider audience. Please contact us if this is the case.
