The Extraordinary Everyday Club is dedicated to ensuring digital inclusion for every visitor. We believe that our online home should be a welcoming space where everyone, regardless of their ability or the technology they use, can browse our shop with ease. Our commitment is to provide a seamless shopping experience for our local community by continuously reviewing and improving our digital accessibility features in line with current UK standards and best practices for inclusive web design.
Inclusive Access Policy
This policy was last reviewed in May 2024.
At The Extraordinary Everyday Club, we are committed to making our website and online store fully accessible and usable for everyone in our community, including those with needs and disabilities.
What inclusion means to us
An accessible website ensures that all visitors can navigate, understand, and interact with our content with an equal level of dignity and independence. We achieve this by optimising our digital layouts to work alongside modern assistive tools and various browsing preferences.
Features for easier browsing on site
We aim to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 at Level AA as our primary standard. To facilitate a better experience for our customers, we have implemented several enhancements, including:
- Establishing a logical and consistent navigation structure across all pages.
- Using clear and descriptive headings to organise our content.
- Providing meaningful alternative text for all essential images.
- Ensuring all colour combinations meet high contrast requirements for better legibility.
- Optimising the site for keyboard-only navigation and screen reading software.
- Set the primary language of the site to ensure correct pronunciation by voice tools.
- Minimising the use of flashing content or distracting motion.
- Providing captions or transcripts for multimedia content wherever possible.
External Content and Third-Party Services
While we strive for full accessibility, some elements on our site rely on third-party services, such as maps or payment gateways, which are not under our direct control. We encourage these providers to meet the same high standards we set for ourselves to ensure a consistent experience for all of our users.
Our Ongoing Commitment to Excellence
Accessibility is an ongoing journey rather than a final destination. We regularly audit our digital presence to identify areas for improvement. By staying informed about the latest inclusive design trends and technological advancements, we aim to remain a supportive and accessible resource for our local customers, ensuring that no one is left behind as we grow and evolve our online shop and community presence.
