Accessibility

Leekes recognises the importance of providing a website that is accessible to all user groups, including the disabled.

We aim to provide a fully accessible website built in accordance with best practices for accessibility and web standards. However, please note that some of our older pages may not yet meet all the standards outlined here. Practical measures include the following:

Access Keys

Access keys are keyboard shortcuts that replace the need to use a mouse for navigation. For this site, you can use:

S Jump to Content
N Jump to Navigation
l Jump to Local Navigation
0 Jump to Accessibility Statement (this page)

Accessible design

Many Internet users with disabilities find websites difficult or even impossible to use simply because of the way they are designed. This website has been designed to be as accessible as possible and to be compatible with the types of adaptive technology used by people with disabilities, including screen readers. As such visitors can control the size of the text and can use 'access keys' on the keyboard rather than the mouse to navigate through the pages.

Resizable fonts

You may change the font size of this document to your preference through your browser. In Internet Explorer, select View, then Text Size, and then your preferred size. In Netscape select View, then Text Zoom, and then your preferred percentage size.

Internal navigation links

At the start of every page are invisible links providing direct access to content, navigation and the accessibility statement, each with access keys. When keyboard-navigating, however, the links become visible - try tabbing through the links on the page.

Standards Compliance

We aim to make all our pages validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional and use structured semantic mark-up. We also aim for our pages to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0, which are endorsed by the Royal National Institute for the Blind. We strive to obey the spirit of the UK Disability Discrimination Act 1995 with respect to the provision of services online, as required by the Disability Rights Commission.

What’s the great thing about Leekes? Maybe it’s the choice of hundreds of beautiful sofas, dining tables, beds and bedroom furniture. Or perhaps it’s our expert Interior Design Studio teams who can help select the perfect carpets, rugs, fabrics, wallpapers, paints and home accessories for your home.

Our department stores in Llantrisant, Cross Hands and Melksham have the biggest displays of fitted kitchens, bathrooms and conservatories around. Then, when you’ve made your choice browse our tableware, electrical appliances, cookshop or our garden and outdoor living departments for the accessories that complete your room.

And finally, our experienced staff in our Building Centres and DIY departments can even help you to build the house of your dreams.

That’s the great thing about Leekes. You’re home.
