Accessibility
At Talislook, our mission is to provide an exceptional shopping experience for all customers, including those with disabilities. We firmly believe that the internet should be equal and open to everyone.
Our Commitment
We are committed to adhering to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines are designed to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including those with visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities. Following these guidelines helps us provide a website that all users can perceive, operate, understand, and interact with.
Ongoing Initiatives
To achieve this goal, we are taking the following steps:
Dedicated Accessibility Team: Our internal team oversees and implements website accessibility features, integrating them into our development and content creation processes.
Regular Testing and Evaluation: We regularly conduct accessibility audits of our website using automated tools and manual keyboard navigation to identify and address potential issues.
Expert Collaboration: We collaborate with accessibility consultants and the disability community to gain valuable feedback and continuously improve our website.
Staff Training: We provide training to relevant staff to ensure they understand and are able to create accessible content.
Assistive Technology and Compatibility
We are committed to making this website compatible with as many assistive technologies as possible. Our website is designed to work with major screen readers (such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver), speech recognition software (such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking), and keyboard-only navigation.
We have and will continue to work towards the following goals:
Clear Navigation: Provide a logical heading structure and a consistent navigation menu.
Text Alternatives: Provide descriptive alt text for all meaningful images.
Keyboard Accessibility: Ensure all features are accessible via keyboard, without a mouse.
Adequate Contrast: Maintain adequate contrast between text and background colors to facilitate reading for users with color blindness and low vision.
Adjustable Text: Allow users to adjust text size using the browser zoom feature without disrupting the website layout.
Form Accessibility: Ensure all form fields are clearly and accurately labeled.
Limitations and Known Issues
While we make every effort to ensure Talislook is accessible, some areas may still be a work in progress. Sometimes, we may use content or plug-ins provided by third parties, which may not be fully accessible. We are actively working with these third-party vendors to improve the accessibility of their products or to identify accessible alternatives.
We view this as an ongoing commitment and will continue to strive to improve the accessibility of our website.
