Website accessibility

Make cleaning information easier to reach and understand.

C&L wants clients, family members, property teams, and community contacts to be able to explore services and choose a comfortable contact route. This page explains the website features we are testing, known boundaries, and how to request help.

Current design approach

Accessibility is treated as ongoing website work.

This is not a formal statement of conformance to a particular standard. It is a practical description of the current build and the checks being used before launch.

Keyboard and focus

Pages include a skip link, visible keyboard focus, keyboard-operable navigation, native form controls, buttons with clear purposes, and arrow-key support in tab-style service explorers.

Readable structure

Pages use one main heading, descriptive section headings, text labels, lists, intrinsic image dimensions, useful alternative text, and plain-language boundaries around quotes and browser-only tools.

Motion and display

Decorative reveal effects respect reduced-motion preferences. Layouts reflow for smaller screens, controls are designed with practical touch targets, and colour is not intended to be the only indicator of state.

Cleaning-service communication

Share practical preferences during setup.

Communication preferences for a cleaning relationship can be discussed during qualification and onboarding. Senior Care arrangements should keep the client at the centre while clearly identifying authorized scheduling, approval, payment, access, and update contacts.

Known boundaries

Some interactions depend on your browser or device.

The website quote path opens the device's email application; a copyable fallback is provided when that does not work. Phone and email links open the applicable device application. The Ottawa service map is an image, with neighbourhood and route information repeated in text on the service-area page. Browser-only checklists and plan tools do not save choices between visits.

Feedback is useful when you include

  • The page address or page name
  • What you were trying to do
  • The control, text, image, or step that caused difficulty
  • Your browser, device, or assistive technology when comfortable sharing it
  • The contact method you would like C&L to use

Review methods

Checks combine automation and real browser use.

The production checklist includes structural HTML checks, broken-link review, image text and dimensions, form-label review, focus visibility, keyboard navigation, reduced-motion behaviour, small-screen layouts, zoom and text reflow observations, and current browser testing. Automated checks can find patterns, but they do not replace human review.

1

Report the barrier

Call or email with the page and task that were difficult. Do not include alarm codes, payment information, or sensitive health details.

2

Choose an alternative

C&L can continue the initial cleaning conversation by phone or email while the website issue is reviewed.

3

Improve the pattern

The issue can be tested against similar pages and controls so a correction is applied consistently where appropriate.

Accessibility FAQ

Practical questions about using the website.

Do I have to use the guided quote form?

No. Call or email C&L when the form is not comfortable or practical. A conversation can identify the minimum information needed for the next step.

Are browser checklist choices stored?

No. The public planning checklists and residential plan finder operate in the current browser page. They do not create an account, profile, or saved record.

Can I ask for information in a different format?

Yes. Contact C&L and identify the page or information you need and the format or communication route that would help. The available response will depend on the material and request.

Where should I report a website barrier?

Email Info@clcleaning.ca or call 613-850-0048. Include the page, task, and preferred reply method when possible.

Need another route?

Start the cleaning conversation without fighting the website.

Call or email C&L, explain the client type and Ottawa location, and say what communication approach would make the next step easier.
