Everyone deserves equal access to West One Loans services

  Elena Zinonos - Digital Marketing Manager, Enra Specialist Finance

The West One Loans website has undergone a significant upgrade, making it more accessible and user-friendly for everyone. The core message behind this essential upgrade is the belief in establishing a digitally inclusive environment that is welcoming to everyone. 

The new accessibility enhancement is not just another feature on the website - it's about the user and the experience of comfortably navigating the website and finding the information needed for the products and services of West One Loans.

Information and resources readability now are available to all users, regardless of ability. The new accessibility tool integrated into the West One Loans website removes accessibility barriers, empowers users with disabilities, and enhances the website experience.

What are a few of the features of the New Accessibility Tool?

The new accessibility tool offers a diverse range of features designed to improve the user experience for everyone who visits the West One Loans website. Here's a closer look at some of the key benefits:

• Dyslexia-Friendly Features: Allows users to adjust the website's presentation to a dyslexia-friendly format. This format typically includes clean layouts, uncluttered fonts, and increased spacing between lines of text. These adjustments significantly improve readability for users with dyslexia.
• Screen Reader Compatibility: Ensures compatibility with popular screen reader software. This is a critical feature for users with visual impairments, allowing them to navigate the website independently and access all information through audio descriptions. Text on the webpage is converted into clear and concise audio, making the loan application process and other resources readily accessible.
• Smart Contrast Adjustments: Personalise the website's appearance by adjusting the contrast between text and background colours. This is particularly beneficial for users with visual conditions like low vision or colour blindness. By adjusting the contrast, users can create a more comfortable and readable viewing experience.
• Bigger Text Options: Empowers users to increase the font size of text on the website. This feature is helpful for users with visual impairments or those who simply prefer larger text for better readability.
•  Built-in Dictionary: The accessibility tool integrates a built-in dictionary, allowing users to look up unfamiliar words directly on the webpage. This feature is valuable for users with learning disabilities or those encountering new financial knowledge.

Reaching a Wider Audience and Building Trust

By integrating the new accessibility tool, West One Loans demonstrates a strong commitment to inclusion. Accessibility is opening our doors to a wider audience, ensuring everyone can access the financial resources they need.

This commitment not only expands in reach but also enhances trust between West One Loans and Intermediaries, either current or potentially new ones. When the audience sees a company prioritising accessibility, it signifies a dedication to social responsibility and a genuine desire to serve a diverse audience and be inclusive.

Using the accessibility tool on the West One Loans website is a breeze. Look for the accessibility icon located on the middle right side of the webpage. Clicking on the icon will open a toolbar with a variety of accessibility features. The user can then customise the website to specific needs and preferences.
