Blenheim Estate Accessibility
We are committed to providing an accessible experience, both on site and online.
Following the W3C standards we have designed our website for ease of use, including:
- Including descriptive alternative text with images
- Using clear headings and easy to understand language
- Choosing contrasting colours for colour-blind accessibility
- A link to the homepage on every page (at the top left of the page) and a sitemap, to help with navigation.
- Not using bespoke access keys on our site, to avoid conflict with any access keys you may have
