Website Accessibility Statement
Toysmith is dedicated to ensuring our website is accessible to as many visitors as possible regardless of their ability or technology. We have an active commitment to increasing our site's website accessibility.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
Web accessibility is based on four principles:
- Perceivable - the information and user interface components must be presented to users in ways they can perceive.
- Operable - User interface components and navigation must be operable (cannot require interaction that certain users are unable to perform).
- Understandable - the information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable (content cannot be beyond the user’s reasonable ability to understand).
- Robust - the content must be robust enough to avoid any misinterpretations from a wide variety of user agents (including assistive technologies).
The main breaking points to validate accessibility on an eCommerce website are the following:
- Happy path - if a user cannot access a certain part of the purchase process that would allow them to get to the checkout flow.
- Form Field - website forms require proper error messaging to communicate with the user to understand where they entered something incorrectly.
- Color Schemes - websites should have enough color contrast to be used by someone with color blindness or low vision.
- Alternative Text - need for strong and accurate alternative text that describes the contents in each image to allow people with visual disabilities to use this text during their navigation.
- Mobile Shoppers - both desktop and mobile versions of a website must be tested for accessibility in order to qualify as an accessible website.
Disclaimer
Please be aware that our efforts to maintain accessibility and usability are ongoing. While we strive to make the Website as accessible as possible some issues can be encountered by different assistive technology as the range of assistive technology is wide and varied.
