Our Commitment to Accessibility

At Hobby Bloom, we believe that everyone — regardless of ability, disability, or the technology they use — deserves equal access to our website and the products we offer. We are committed to ensuring that hobbybloom.shop is accessible, inclusive, and usable by the widest possible audience, including individuals with visual, auditory, motor, cognitive, and other disabilities.

We are actively working to improve the accessibility of our website in accordance with recognized best practices and applicable standards.

1. Accessibility Standards We Follow

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities and are the internationally recognized benchmark for web accessibility.

WCAG 2.1 is organized around four core principles. Our website strives to be:

  • Perceivable — Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive, including through screen readers and alternative text for images
  • Operable — User interface components and navigation must be operable, including full keyboard navigation support
  • Understandable — Information and the operation of our user interface must be understandable and predictable
  • Robust — Content must be robust enough to be reliably interpreted by a wide variety of assistive technologies, including current and future tools

2. Current Accessibility Features

We have implemented or are working to implement the following accessibility features across hobbybloom.shop:

Visual Accessibility

  • Meaningful alternative text (alt text) for all product images and visual content
  • Sufficient color contrast ratios between text and background elements
  • Text that can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality
  • No content that relies solely on color to convey meaning

Navigation & Structure

  • Consistent and logical page structure using semantic HTML headings
  • Skip-to-main-content link available at the top of each page
  • Keyboard-navigable menus and interactive elements
  • Descriptive link text that makes sense out of context

Forms & Checkout

  • Properly labeled form fields throughout the checkout process
  • Clear error identification and suggestions for correction
  • No time limits imposed on completing forms or transactions

Media & Content

  • Captions or transcripts provided for any video content where applicable
  • No content that flashes more than three times per second

Assistive Technology Compatibility

  • Compatible with major screen readers including JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver
  • Designed to work with keyboard-only navigation
  • Structured to support browser zoom and text scaling tools

3. Known Limitations

While we strive to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards across our entire website, there may be some areas that are still being improved. We are continuously working to identify and address accessibility gaps, particularly in:

  • Third-party embedded content (such as payment widgets provided by Stripe)
  • Older product pages that may be in the process of being updated
  • Any user-generated content or reviews that may not yet be fully accessible

We are committed to addressing known issues as quickly as possible and appreciate your patience as we work toward full compliance.

4. Assistive Technologies We Support

5. Third-Party Content

Some content and functionality on our website is provided by third-party services, including our payment processor (Stripe) and analytics tools (Google Analytics). While we select partners who share our commitment to accessibility, we cannot fully control the accessibility of third-party content. We encourage you to review the accessibility policies of these providers directly.
