Accessibility Statement for Lyte Balance

At Lyte Balance, we are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of ability or technology. We believe that everyone should be able to shop online with ease, and we are continuously improving our site to ensure that it meets accessibility standards.

This accessibility statement outlines the steps we have taken to make our store accessible and provides information on how you can contact us for assistance.

Conformance with Accessibility Standards

We strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, the globally recognized standard for web accessibility. These guidelines were developed to ensure that web content is accessible to all, including people with disabilities.

We aim to make the online shopping experience as inclusive and user-friendly as possible by:

• Ensuring proper text-to-background contrast.
• Making sure all interactive elements are keyboard accessible.
• Providing alternative text for images.
• Ensuring that videos have subtitles or transcripts where possible.

Keyboard Navigation

We’ve designed our store so that you can navigate using only your keyboard. Whether you're browsing through categories or checking out, you should be able to interact with our site without the need for a mouse. Use the Tab key to move through interactive elements (links, buttons, forms) and Enter or Space to activate them.

Screen Reader Compatibility

Our website is compatible with screen readers, which allow users with visual impairments to navigate the site with audio assistance. We have implemented ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) roles and proper HTML markup to ensure screen readers can read out information, including product details, prices, and form instructions.

Adjustable Text Size & Contrast

We recognize the importance of visual clarity for all users. We offer options to adjust the text size, and we ensure that our website has high-contrast text for easy readability. We also recommend using the browser's built-in zoom function (Ctrl + or Command + on Mac) to further increase text size if needed.

Additionally, we suggest using browser tools and extensions for adjusting color contrast to suit your preferences.

Accessible Forms

We have ensured that all forms on our website, such as the checkout, contact forms, and newsletter signup, are accessible. This includes:

• Labeling all form fields clearly.
• Providing error messages and guidance in the case of form submission issues.
• Making forms navigable via keyboard shortcuts.

Continuous Improvement

We are committed to making continuous improvements to the accessibility of our website. While we strive for perfection, accessibility is a journey, and we welcome feedback. We regularly test and update our website to maintain compliance with the latest accessibility standards and best practices.
