Accessibility Policy

Our Commitment
Fluitas is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards. We believe that every person has the right to live with dignity, equality, comfort, and independence.

Standard
To ensure we meet the highest standards, Fluitas strives to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Conforming to these guidelines helps make the website user-friendly for all people, including those with visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor disabilities.

E-commerce Platform and Theme
Our e-commerce store is built on the Shopify platform, utilizing the Sense theme. While the Shopify platform and the Sense theme offer a strong foundation for accessibility, we acknowledge that full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance requires ongoing effort beyond the default theme settings, particularly in the custom content and configurations we add. We are committed to addressing any custom content or third-party app implementations to ensure they also meet the WCAG 2.1 AA standard.

Accessibility Measures and Features
We have taken or are in the process of taking the following steps to ensure accessibility:

  • Perceivable:
    Alternative Text: Providing descriptive text alternatives (Alt Text) for all meaningful images, including product images and banners, so that the content can be read by screen readers.
  • Color Contrast: Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and background elements, in line with WCAG Level AA requirements, particularly utilizing the high-contrast design features of the Sense theme.
  • Text Size: Content is designed to be readable and adjustable using standard browser settings without loss of content or functionality.
  • Keyboard Navigation: All functionalities of the website, including navigation menus, product selection, adding to cart, and checkout forms, are operable using only a keyboard (Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Spacebar).
  • Focus Indicators: A visible focus indicator (e.g., a border or highlight) is provided to clearly show which element is currently selected when navigating by keyboard.
  • Skip Links: A "Skip to Main Content" link is provided at the top of each page for users of keyboard and screen readers.
  • Clear Headings: Using a logical and consistent heading structure (H1, H2, H3, etc.) to outline the content and make it easier for screen readers to navigate.
  • Form Labels and Instructions: All form fields (e.g., in the checkout or contact forms) are clearly labeled and accompanied by helpful, accessible instructions and error messages.
  • Consistent Navigation: Navigation mechanisms are consistent throughout the website.
  • Semantic Markup: Using standard and valid HTML/ARIA markup to ensure compatibility with various browsers and assistive technologies (like screen readers).
