The World of Search Web Accessibility Policy


Last Updated: 8th September 2025


1. Our Commitment to Accessibility

At The World of Search, we are committed to ensuring that our website, https://www.theworldofsearch.com, is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We believe that everyone should have equal access to the information and services we provide.


We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and, in doing so, adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines.


2. Legal Framework and Standards

Our accessibility efforts are guided by and aim to comply with relevant UK legislation, primarily the Equality Act 2010. This Act requires service providers, including those operating websites, to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that disabled people are not put at a substantial disadvantage.


To achieve this, we strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at AA level, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance to these guidelines will help make the web more user-friendly for all people.


3. Our Accessibility Features and Ongoing Efforts

We are continually working to improve the accessibility of our website. Here are some of the features and ongoing efforts we are implementing:

  • Perceivable:
  • Providing text alternatives for non-text content (e.g., image alt text).
  • Ensuring good colour contrast for text and interactive elements.
  • Making content available in different ways (e.g., clear headings, structured content).
  • Using clear and simple language where appropriate.
  • Operable:
  • Ensuring all functionality is available via keyboard navigation.
  • Providing clear and consistent navigation throughout the site.
  • Allowing users sufficient time to read and use content.
  • Avoiding content that could cause seizures (e.g., flashing content).
  • Understandable:
  • Making text readable and understandable.
  • Making web pages appear and operate in predictable ways.
  • Helping users avoid and correct mistakes in forms.
  • Robust:
  • Maximising compatibility with current and future user agents, including assistive technologies.
  • Using valid HTML and CSS.

Specific actions we are taking include:

  • Regularly reviewing our website using automated accessibility checkers and manual testing.
  • Training our content creators and developers on accessibility best practices.
  • Considering accessibility during the design and development phases of new features and content.
  • Seeking feedback from users on their accessibility experience.


4. Known Limitations and Areas for Improvement

While we strive for WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, it is an ongoing process. We are aware that some parts of our website may not yet be fully accessible. We are actively working to address these areas.

Examples of areas we are continually reviewing and improving include:

  • [Optional: Insert specific known limitations here if you have them, e.g., "Some older PDF documents may not be fully tagged for screen readers." or "Certain third-party embedded content may have limited accessibility features."]
  • Ensuring all video content has accurate captions and transcripts.
  • Improving the accessibility of complex data tables.

We are committed to resolving any identified issues promptly.
