At Closer Lives Emporium, we are deeply committed to ensuring our website is accessible and inclusive for all visitors, regardless of their abilities.
We believe that everyone should have equal access to information and a seamless online experience. This commitment drives our efforts to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards, and we continuously work towards enhancing the usability of our digital platforms for every user.
Our ongoing efforts to enhance accessibility include:
Keyboard Navigation
Our website is designed to be fully navigable using keyboard controls alone, providing a comprehensive browsing experience for individuals who may not use a mouse or other pointing devices.
Screen Reader Compatibility
We prioritize compatibility with popular screen readers, ensuring that users with visual impairments can effectively access and understand all content presented on our pages.
Alternative Text for Images
Every image on our website is accompanied by descriptive alternative text (alt text). This feature allows screen readers to convey visual information to users with visual impairments and ensures content comprehension even when images are not displayed.
Clear and Consistent Design
We maintain a clean, intuitive, and consistent design across our website. This includes a logical heading structure, clear and descriptive link text, and sufficient color contrast to optimize readability and ease of navigation for all users.
Captioned Media
All video and multimedia content on our website that includes audio is provided with accurate captions or transcripts. This ensures that individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing can fully access the auditory information.
Adjustable Text Sizes
Users have the flexibility to adjust the text size on our website through their browser settings, enabling individuals with visual impairments or reading difficulties to customize the content to their preferred readability.
Compatibility with Assistive Technologies
We strive to ensure broad compatibility with a variety of assistive technologies, including screen magnifiers, speech recognition software, and alternative input devices, to support diverse user needs.
