Why We Use Ally: Making Our Website Easier for Everyone
At Life Quality, we believe that bathroom accessibility shouldn’t stop at the bathroom door. That’s why we’re committed to making our website as accessible and user-friendly as possible, especially for our older visitors and those with visual or motor impairments.
One way we do this is by using the Ally Web Accessibility & Usability – a tool that helps ensure our website is easy to read, navigate, and interact with for people of all abilities.
Here’s a closer look at how this helps make our website better for everyone:
What Is Ally?
Ally is a powerful accessibility accessory that sits quietly on the top right hand side of our website, giving users the option to customise their experience based on their specific needs or preferences.
With just a click, visitors can adjust the site to suit impaired vision, cognitive differences, or motor difficulties – no technical knowledge needed.
Key Features That Support Our Visitors
Here are some of the standout features Ally provides to our customers:
- Text Size & Font Adjustments
Not everyone finds small or ornate fonts easy to read. Ally allows users to:
- Increase or decrease text size
- Choose dyslexia-friendly fonts
- Adjust line spacing for easier readability
2. Contrast & Colour Options
Visual impairments can make it hard to read text against certain background colours. Ally lets visitors:
- Switch to high contrast mode
- Invert colours for low-vision support
- Use grayscale mode for simplified viewing
3. Keyboard Navigation
For users with motor impairments, the tool enables
- Skip-to-content buttons
- Clear visual focus indicators
4. Highlighting Tools
Ally also offers visual tools that help people focus and track information, such as:
- Cursor highlighting
- Text highlighting on hover
- Reading masks to follow lines of text
Why This Matters
Many of our customers and their families are older adults or people with limited vision or mobility. We know that barriers don’t just exist in physical spaces — they can exist online too.
That’s why we’re proud to offer a site that adapts to everyone’s needs, not the other way around.
With Ally, we’re making it easier to:
- Browse our range of walk-in showers, baths, and wet rooms
- Read guides and FAQs
- Get in touch with us quickly and confidently
