Effective Date: November 30th, 2024

At Menalated, we are committed to providing an inclusive and accessible shopping experience for all our customers, including those with disabilities. We strive to ensure that our website, menalated.com, is usable by everyone, regardless of their abilities or limitations.

This Accessibility Policy outlines our efforts to enhance the accessibility of our website and the measures we have in place to provide an equitable online shopping experience.

Commitment to Accessibility

We are committed to improving the accessibility of our website by adhering to best practices and standards for web accessibility. Our goal is to ensure that all users, including those with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive impairments, can successfully navigate our site, access the content, and make purchases.

We strive to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level and are actively working to improve our website's accessibility in line with these standards. These guidelines, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), provide a shared standard for web content accessibility.

Measures We Are Taking

To enhance the accessibility of our website, we have implemented the following measures:

  1. Text Alternatives
    We provide alternative text (alt text) for non-text content such as images, so that it can be translated into accessible formats like screen readers.
  2. Keyboard Navigation
    Our website is navigable using only a keyboard, which allows individuals with motor disabilities to use the site more easily.
  3. Color Contrast
    We ensure sufficient contrast between text and background colors, making it easier for users with low vision to read our content.
  4. Clear and Consistent Layout
    We use a simple, logical layout for our website with easy-to-read fonts and clear headings to assist users in navigating our pages.
  5. Accessible Forms
    Our forms are designed to be accessible, with clear labels, field instructions, and error messages that are easy to understand for all users.
  6. Audio and Video Accessibility
    We provide captions or transcripts for videos where applicable to support users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
  7. Regular Testing and Updates
    We continuously monitor the accessibility of our website using automated tools and user feedback, making updates as needed to ensure ongoing compliance.

Third-Party Content and Accessibility

Please note that some third-party content on our website (e.g., embedded videos, social media widgets, payment processors) may not fully comply with accessibility standards. We are working with these third-party vendors to ensure that their content meets accessibility requirements.

Future Accessibility Goals

We are dedicated to continuously improving our website's accessibility and user experience. Our future goals include:

  • Expanding the use of accessible features as we introduce new website functionalities.
  • Continuing to educate our team on best practices for web accessibility.
  • Regularly reviewing our website to stay current with evolving accessibility standards and technologies.
