We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and in doing so adhere to many available standards and guidelines. Here are some of the measures we are taking:

Specific Accessibility Features
The Toy Haven website incorporates the following accessibility features to ensure a positive experience for all users:
-
Alternative Text:
All images include descriptive alternative text. This allows users of screen readers to understand the content and purpose of each image.
- Keyboard Navigation: The entire website is navigable using a keyboard alone. Users can easily move between links, form fields, and other interactive elements without the need for a mouse.
- Color Contrast: We have carefully selected color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background. This helps users with low vision or color blindness to easily read the content.
- Resizable Text: Users can easily increase or decrease the text size using their browser settings. This allows individuals with visual impairments to customize the font size to their preference.
- Clear and Consistent Navigation: The website's navigation is designed to be clear, consistent, and intuitive. This helps users easily find the information they are looking for, regardless of their familiarity with the site.
- Form Labels: All form fields are properly labeled, making it easier for users to understand the purpose of each field and complete forms accurately.
- Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content. This not only improves accessibility but also enhances the website's SEO.
- ARIA Attributes: We utilize ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies, such as screen readers. This helps to ensure that users with disabilities have a complete and accurate understanding of the website's content and functionality.
- Video Captions: All videos on our website include accurate and synchronized captions. This allows users who are deaf or hard of hearing to understand the video content. (Currently there are no videos, but all future videos will have captions).
