Accessibility

We've placed a huge amount of importance on the accessibility of our website. Not only does it look great, but it’s also easy to use, too.

We've tried to make this site as accessible as possible to all user groups, including the disabled, the visually impaired and those with motor deficiencies and cognitive disabilities.

Please read some of the accessibility features we have implemented as part of the site design.

We've made improvements for screen readers, keyboard navigation, text-only browsers, mobile phones amongst others.

We've used clear, simple language which is easy to understand. We've used clear and legible fonts for all text and headings.

We use alt tags and image tags for non-text elements to help screen readers and wider accessibility of our site.

We provide detailed descriptions of all our products so that it is possible to shop our site without the use of images. We would however strongly recommend always displaying our images as they are fabulous.

We've used common web conventions like validated HTML and our site uses cascading style sheets (CSS) for visual layout.

• We've tried to make our site as usable and readable as possible if your browser does not support CSS.
• We've avoided the use of blinking or flickering elements.

We have designed (e.g. using structural mark-up, links, etc) and tested the site thoroughly to try and ensure compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

• In some instances, the website uses enhanced features via JavaScript. We highly recommend having JavaScript enabled.
• Although we have worked hard to provide equivalent functionality without JavaScript, this is not always achievable.

We've paid particular attention to the use of colour on our site.

• We want to make the site look visually appealing, but we also want to make it easy to use for everyone, especially those with visual impairments.
• Our site is usable by anyone with colour deficient vision. All our combinations of font and background colours have carefully been considered with regards to colour blindness conditions whilst also ensuring the information is clear and easy to use.

Our website does not use pop-up windows unless they are appropriate such as enlarged images.

• We do carefully consider when we use pop-ups, sometimes it is important to see the browser window you've just navigated from in the background.
