Accessibility
At Orchard & Hive, we’re committed to making our online space accessible to every visitor. This page outlines the steps we take to support an inclusive experience and the ongoing work we do to ensure our website can be enjoyed by all.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
At Orchard & Hive, we believe creativity belongs to everyone. We are deeply committed to ensuring our digital studio is an inclusive, welcoming, and accessible space where every visitor – regardless of ability or technology – can comfortably explore and enjoy our artwork and resources.
How We Support Accessibility
We work to align our website with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA wherever reasonably possible. This includes ongoing efforts such as:
- Reducing unnecessary motion or visual barriers where possible
- Using clear, readable text and thoughtfully structured layouts
- Providing descriptive alt text for images and artwork
- Maintaining keyboard‑friendly navigation
- Choosing colors and contrast with care to support readability
Ongoing Improvements
Accessibility is an evolving practice. As we continue to update and expand our WordPress site, we regularly review features, adjust design elements, and refine content to improve usability for all visitors. We recognize that accessibility is not a one‑time task but a long‑term commitment.
Third-Party Platforms
Please note that while we strive to ensure our own website and portfolio content are as accessible as possible, external third-party marketplaces and platforms where our products are sold (such as Spoonflower and Teachers Pay Teachers) are governed by their own respective platforms’ accessibility features and compliance standards.
