Accessibility Statement

Last Updated: May 29, 2026

Our Commitment

Brandy's Pampered Pets is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually work to improve the user experience of our website and aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. Our goal is to ensure this website is usable by the widest possible audience, regardless of ability or technology.

Conformance Status

We aim for WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance. "Aims for" means we are actively working to achieve this standard. Some content may not yet fully conform — see "Known Limitations" below for details.

Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following accessibility features on our website:

  • Semantic HTML5 structure — proper use of headings, landmarks, lists, and structural elements for screen reader compatibility
  • Skip-to-content link — allows keyboard users to bypass navigation and jump directly to main content
  • ARIA labels and landmarks — descriptive labels on interactive elements (aria-label, aria-current, aria-expanded) and ARIA landmarks for navigation regions
  • Full keyboard navigation — all interactive elements are operable via keyboard Tab, Enter, and Escape keys
  • Visible focus indicators — clear 3px solid focus outlines on all interactive elements when navigating with a keyboard
  • WCAG AA color contrast — minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio for body text and 3:1 for large text and interactive elements
  • Descriptive alt text — all informational images include descriptive alternative text; decorative images use empty alt=""
  • Responsive design — content is usable on devices from 320px wide and remains readable when zoomed to 200%
  • prefers-reduced-motion media query — all animations and transitions are disabled or reduced for users who prefer reduced motion
  • Form labels associated with inputs — all form fields have programmatically associated labels
  • Required field identification — required form fields are clearly identified with both visual and text indicators
  • Mobile menu accessibility — the mobile navigation menu uses aria-modal, aria-hidden, and keyboard-trapping when open

Technical Specifications

Our website's accessibility relies on the following technologies:

  • HTML5

Known Limitations
