Accessibility Statement

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Cootersplace.com is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

We developed this website with the theme “Cornerstone“. We did this as per the following BigCommerce Website Accessibility & ADA Compliance Guide:

Our default theme, Cornerstone (versions 5.2 and higher), is WCAG 2.1 Level A compliant in the following key areas:

  • Keyboard accessibility

  • Timing

  • Navigation

  • Input modals

  • Readability

Cootersplace.com is using a variety of testing tools including, but not limited to, Web Accessibility by Level Access and WAVE. We make any adjustments based on feedback from these tests.

WAVE tool

We have identified a few remaining compliance errors such as:

  • Contrast errors in hidden objects
  • Empty link errors on some working links
  • Missing iframe titles on videos

However, we are confident that these errors, which are not specific to Cootersplace.com content, neither unduly hinder accessibility nor affect the integrity of our content for any of our customers. We are currently enlisting the help of third-party developers to address these outlying issues that involve expert level web development, and are continuing to learn about the implementation of Web Accessibility standards through our own research with developer resources such as MDN and W3Schools.

An accessibility scan is done once per quarter based on the following schedule:

  • First Quarter: January 01 – March 31
  • Second Quarter: April 01 – June 30
  • Third Quarter: July 01 – September 30
  • Fourth Quarter: October 01 – December 31
