​ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

This statement was last updated on [enter relevant date].

We at [enter organization / business name] are working to make our site [enter site name and  address] accessible to people with disabilities.

What web accessibility is

We are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible and welcoming to everyone. This includes people with disabilities, neurodiverse individuals, older users, and anyone who may benefit from an inclusive digital experience. Our mission of celebrating LGBTQ+ identities extends to making our store as inclusive online as it is in spirit.
 

Our Commitment
 

We aim to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, which provide a framework for making digital content more accessible to people with a wide range of abilities. We also strive to uphold the values outlined in the New Zealand Human Rights Act 1993, which prohibits discrimination based on disability.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

To improve accessibility across our website, we are actively:

  • Using clear, readable fonts and high-contrast color schemes

  • Adding descriptive alt text to images and product photos

  • Ensuring keyboard navigability across the site

  • Structuring content using proper heading hierarchy for screen readers

  • Using descriptive link text and buttons

  • Avoiding flashing or motion effects that could trigger discomfort

We use Wix, which provides built-in accessibility features including:

  • ARIA landmarks and roles

  • Focus indicators for keyboard navigation

  • Responsive design for all screen sizes

  • Compatibility with most screen readers

​

Ongoing Efforts

​

Accessibility is not a one-time task—it’s an ongoing commitment. We review our site regularly and welcome feedback from users. As we grow, we plan to:

  • Continue testing our site for accessibility issues

  • Train our team on inclusive design principles

  • Implement additional tools or plug-ins to further improve accessibility

​

Known Limitations

​

While we work hard to meet accessibility standards, there may be some limitations:

  • User-generated content or third-party apps (e.g., product review apps) may not always be fully accessible

  • Some decorative images may be missing alt attributes

  • Keyboard focus styling may vary across some elements due to theme restrictions

We are actively working to address these and welcome your help in identifying any barriers.

​
