Accessibility Statement

Absolutely. For Lukeny Photography, I recommend making this a genuine accessibility commitment, rather than claiming that the website is already perfectly compliant with every accessibility standard. That distinction matters.

South African government guidance currently points to WCAG 2.2 Level A as a baseline for accessibility, while other official guidance discusses WCAG 2.1 AA and broader universal-design principles. South Africa's equality framework also recognises the importance of reasonable accommodation and accessibility for persons with disabilities.

So I would use the following wording.

ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

Lukeny Photography
Last updated: 26 August 2026

Lukeny Photography is committed to making our website and digital services accessible and usable for as many people as possible, including people with disabilities.

We believe everyone should be able to explore our photography portfolio, learn about our services, contact us and make enquiries without unnecessary barriers.

We are continually working to improve the accessibility, usability and clarity of our website.

1. OUR COMMITMENT

Lukeny Photography aims to provide an inclusive online experience and to follow recognised web accessibility principles, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Our accessibility efforts focus on making website content:

  • Perceivable;

  • Operable;

  • Understandable; and

  • Compatible with a broad range of devices and assistive technologies.

We aim to incorporate accessibility into the ongoing design, development and maintenance of our website rather than treating accessibility as a one-time task.

2. ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES

We are working to provide accessibility features and practices including:

Alternative text for images

We aim to provide meaningful alternative text for images where appropriate.

Because photography is the primary purpose of our website, many images are important visual content rather than decoration. We therefore aim to provide descriptions that communicate the relevant subject or purpose of an image where practical.

Decorative images may use alternative-text techniques that allow assistive technologies to ignore them where appropriate.

Clear headings and structure

We aim to use clear headings and logical page structures to make information easier to navigate.

This is particularly important for visitors using screen readers or other assistive technologies.

Descriptive links

Where practical, links and buttons are labelled according to their purpose so that visitors can understand where a link will take them without relying solely on surrounding visual information.

Keyboard navigation

We aim to ensure that important website functions can be accessed using standard keyboard navigation where supported by the underlying website platform.

Readable content

We aim to present information using clear language, appropriate spacing, readable typography and a logical layout.

Mobile accessibility

Our website is designed to be usable across different screen sizes, including smartphones, tablets and desktop computers.

Colour and visual presentation

We aim to maintain sufficient contrast between text and backgrounds and avoid relying solely on colour to communicate important information.

3. PHOTOGRAPHY AND VISUAL CONTENT

Photography is central to the Lukeny Photography website.

We recognise that visual content can create accessibility barriers for visitors who are blind or have low vision.

Where practical, we provide alternative text or descriptions for meaningful images.

However, some artistic photographs contain complex visual information that cannot be fully communicated through a short text description.

Where an image is particularly important to understanding a service or piece of information, we will make reasonable efforts to provide an appropriate description.

4. VIDEOS AND MULTIMEDIA

Where video or other multimedia content is published on our website, we aim to provide appropriate accessibility features where reasonably possible.

Depending on the content and platform, these may include:

  • Captions;

  • Text descriptions;

  • Accessible controls; and

  • Alternative ways of accessing important information contained within the media.

Some third-party media platforms may have their own accessibility features and limitations.

5. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Some functionality on the Lukeny Photography website may be provided by third-party platforms or services.

These may include:

  • Website hosting and website functionality;

  • Booking systems;

  • Payment providers;

  • Social media platforms;

  • Maps;

  • Analytics services;

  • Embedded content; and

  • Other third-party technologies.

While we aim to work with services that support accessibility, Lukeny Photography does not control the accessibility of third-party platforms and cannot guarantee their accessibility.

Where reasonably possible, we will seek alternative ways to provide important information or communicate with visitors.

6. ONGOING IMPROVEMENT

Website accessibility is an ongoing process.

We regularly review our website and may make improvements to:

  • Navigation;

  • Page structure;

  • Image alternative text;

  • Colour contrast;

  • Typography;

  • Forms;

  • Buttons and links;

  • Mobile usability;

  • Multimedia;

  • Compatibility with assistive technologies; and

  • General website usability.

As our website develops, we will continue identifying and addressing accessibility barriers where reasonably possible.

7. KNOWN LIMITATIONS

Although we are committed to improving accessibility, some parts of the website may not currently provide a fully accessible experience for every visitor.

This may be due to:

  • Limitations of the Wix website platform;

  • Third-party applications or embedded services;

  • Third-party content;

  • Older website content that has not yet been reviewed;

  • Complex photographic or visual content; or

  • Technical limitations that we are working to address.

We do not claim that every page, feature or piece of content on the website currently meets every accessibility requirement.

Our goal is to continually improve the website and reduce barriers to access.

8. REQUESTING ACCESSIBILITY ASSISTANCE

If you experience difficulty accessing information or using any part of the Lukeny Photography website because of an accessibility barrier, please contact us.

We will make reasonable efforts to assist you and, where practical, provide the information or service through an alternative format or communication method.

You can contact us using:

Email: LukenyPhotography@gmail.com
Phone: +27 62 775 3214

When contacting us about an accessibility issue, please provide:

  • The page or feature you were trying to access;

  • A description of the difficulty you experienced;

  • The type of assistance you require, if known; and

  • Your preferred method of communication.

You do not need to provide personal medical information to report an accessibility issue.

9. FEEDBACK

We welcome feedback about the accessibility and usability of our website.

Accessibility feedback helps us identify barriers that may not be apparent during our own website reviews.

If you believe that something on our website could be made more accessible, please let us know.

Email: LukenyPhotography@gmail.com
Phone: +27 62 775 3214

We will review accessibility-related feedback and consider reasonable improvements.

10. ALTERNATIVE COMMUNICATION

If you are unable to use a particular feature of our website, you may contact Lukeny Photography directly.

Depending on the nature of your request, we may be able to assist through:

  • Email;

  • Telephone;

  • WhatsApp;

  • Alternative digital communication; or

  • Another reasonable communication method.

Our goal is to ensure that a website accessibility barrier does not unnecessarily prevent you from making an enquiry or learning about our photography services.

11. REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION

Lukeny Photography will consider reasonable requests for assistance or alternative communication where a visitor encounters an accessibility barrier.

The appropriate accommodation may depend on the nature of the request, the service involved and the technical options available.

Nothing in this Accessibility Statement is intended to limit any rights that a person may have under applicable South African law.

12. ACCESSIBILITY STANDARDS

Our accessibility work is informed by recognised accessibility principles, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

WCAG provides internationally recognised recommendations for making websites more accessible to people with disabilities, including users who rely on screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification and other assistive technologies.

South African government website guidance also recommends applying WCAG accessibility principles to digital content.

We aim to use these principles as a reference when improving the Lukeny Photography website.

13. CHANGES TO THIS ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

We may update this Accessibility Statement as our website, services, technology or accessibility practices change.

The latest version will be published on this page.
