Aldwych Factors Ltd is committed to providing a fully accessible website experience for all users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, screen enlargement software, and alternative keyboard input devices to navigate the web.
Ongoing Efforts to Ensure Accessibility
We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 as our guiding principle for determining accessibility. These internationally agreed-upon standards cover various recommendations and best practices for making content usable. As we add new pages and functionality to our website, all designs, code, and content entry practices are checked against these standards.
Website accessibility is an ongoing process. We continually test content and features for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and remediate any issues to ensure we meet or exceed the standards. Our team members test our website using an Accessibility Checker WordPress Plugin, color contrast analyzers, keyboard-only navigation techniques, and Flesch-Kincaid readability tests.
Accessibility Features On Our Website
The following is a list of items we have included in our website to improve its accessibility:
- Skip Links

Where We’re Improving
In our efforts to bring our website up to standard, we are targeting the following areas:
- Navigation Elements – improvements have been made.
- Internal and External Links – (100% alt text, roles, signage)
- Text block ambiguity – could be misconstrued as headlines
- Slider controls – already minimised.
- Readability reduction to level 8 or less.
This is part of our broader effort to make everyone’s experience at the site welcoming and enjoyable. Please note that while we make every effort to provide information accessible for all users, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party websites to which we may link.
