Accessibility Statement
At The Doyle Collection, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including those with additional needs. We strive to improve and maintain the accessibility of our website, following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA standards. This statement outlines our efforts to provide a user-friendly experience for all visitors and highlights the steps we are taking to continuously improve accessibility across our digital platform.
Compliance Status
While significant progress has been made in relation to becoming fully compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA, there remain several areas that require improvement.
Areas for Improvement
Images
Certain images on our site either lack alternative text or have descriptions that do not fully convey their purpose. We are actively updating these to ensure all visual content is accessible.
Links
Some links do not provide enough context about their destination. We are revising these to offer clearer information.
Media
We are in the process of adding more detailed transcripts and audio descriptions to our video content to enhance accessibility for all users.
Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of all accessibility issues. We are committed to continuously improving the accessibility of our website.
Third-Party Content
While we strive to ensure our website is fully accessible, some external sites linked from our pages may have varying levels of accessibility that are beyond our control.
Accessibility Evaluation Method
We evaluated the accessibility of doylecollection.com using the Website
Accessibility Conformance Evaluation Methodology (WCAG-EM). A representative selection of pages was audited through a blend of automated and manual testing.
Automated testing was conducted with:
ARC Toolkit Axe Devtools
Manual testing involved:
Screen reader assessments using NVDA on Windows 11 Keyboard operation
How we are going to improve accessibility
Enhanced Image Descriptions:
We will systematically review and update all images to ensure that each one has meaningful alternative text. This process will include regular audits to verify that all visual content meets accessibility standards.
Improved Interactive and Navigational Elements:
Our development team will refine keyboard navigation and interactive elements to ensure seamless use without a mouse. This includes adding proper focus indicators and optimising ARIA labels to assist users relying on assistive technologies.
Upcoming Website Redevelopment
We are currently in the process of redeveloping our website through a complete rebuild, with accessibility considered at every stage. Our goal is to meet at least the WCAG 2.2 Level AA standard, ensuring an inclusive and user-friendly experience for all visitors.
