Paul Matthews Hypnotherapy is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure our online services are inclusive.

Accessibility Statement

To ensure a seamless experience, Paul Matthews Hypnotherapy takes the following measures:

  • Integration: We have integrated the UserWay Website Accessibility Widget. This AI-powered software allows us to improve our compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) and provides a range of tools for users with diverse needs.

  • Ongoing Review: We regularly monitor our website to identify and fix potential accessibility barriers.

  • Platform Standards: As our website is hosted on the WebWave platform, we utilise their built-in accessibility features alongside our custom enhancements to maintain high digital standards.

Measures to Support Accessibility

The UserWay accessibility menu can be enabled by clicking the accessibility menu icon that appears on the corner of the page. This widget provides a variety of tools to help users customise their viewing experience, including:

  • Contrast Adjustment: Options for high contrast, negative contrast, or grayscale to assist users with visual impairments.

  • Text Scaling: The ability to increase or decrease font size for better readability.

  • Dyslexia Friendly Font: A specialised font style to aid users with dyslexia in reading site content more easily.

  • Highlight Links: A tool to make all clickable links more prominent.

  • Pause Animations: The ability to stop moving elements, which can be helpful for users with light sensitivity or neurodivergent needs.

 

While the free version of this widget provides these manual customisation tools, we recommend that users requiring full screen-reader compatibility use their device’s native software (such as VoiceOver for Mac/iOS or NVDA for Windows).
