Accessibility Statement

We are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users. Below is our Accessibility Statement for Bee Kind Botanicals, in line with the Equality Act 2010 and best practice WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines.

1. Scope
This statement applies to all pages and functionality of the Bee Kind Botanicals website, including our online store, membership area, blog, and support pages.

2. Standards and Guidelines
We aim to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, as published by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user friendly for everyone.

3. Measures to Support Accessibility
To achieve and maintain accessibility, we:

  • Use semantic HTML and ARIA landmarks to ensure meaningful navigation.

  • Provide text alternatives for non‑text content (e.g., alt text for images).

  • Ensure sufficient contrast between text and background colours.

  • Enable keyboard‑only navigation across all interactive elements.

  • Structure content with clear headings (H1–H6), lists, and landmarks.

  • Offer resizable text (up to 200%) without loss of content or functionality.

  • Test pages regularly with automated tools and manual audits, including screen‑reader testing (e.g., NVDA, VoiceOver).

4. Accessibility Status
While we strive for full compliance, some areas may not yet meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Known issues include:

  • Occasional form-field labels not properly associated in older templates.

  • Third‑party widgets (e.g., payment gateway embeds) that may not fully support keyboard focus order.
    We are actively working with our developers and vendors to resolve these issues.

5. Feedback and Contact
We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of Bee Kind Botanicals. Please let us know if you encounter accessibility barriers:

When reporting an issue, please include:

7. Technical Specifications
