Web Accessibility Statement

This web accessibility statement explains how Peacemade Craft is committed to providing a fully accessible website experience for all users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, screen enlargement software, and alternative keyboard input devices to navigate the web.

Ongoing Efforts Behind This Web Accessibility Statement

We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 as our guiding principle for determining accessibility. These are internationally agreed-upon standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content useable. As we add new pages and functionality to our website, all designs, code, and content entry practices are checked against these standards.

Website accessibility is an ongoing process. We continually test content and features for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and remediate any issues to ensure we meet or exceed the standards. Testing of our website is performed using industry-standard tools such as the Accessibility Checker WordPress Plugin, color contrast analyzers, keyboard-only navigation techniques, and Flesch-Kincaid readability tests.

Accessibility Features On Our Website

The following is a list of items we have included in our website to improve its accessibility:

Accessible names (aria-labels) added to icon-only interactive elements, such as the header search icon and social media links
Sufficient color contrast for text and links, using our brand navy color in place of low-contrast defaults
Unique, properly associated form field IDs and labels across every page, including pages with more than one form
Logical heading structure and descriptive, unique page titles on every page
Every page reviewed individually with the Accessibility Checker plugin before and after publishing

Where We’re Improving

In our efforts to bring our website up to standard, we are targeting the following areas:

Adding clear, accurate alternative text to product and gallery images as they are reviewed
Continuing to audit older blog posts and pages for heading structure, link text, and readability
Monitoring new accessibility scans as our theme, page builder, and other plugins are updated

This is part of our broader effort to make everyone’s experience at Peacemade Craft a welcoming and enjoyable one. Please note that while we make every effort to provide information accessible for all users, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third party websites to which we may link.
