​ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

Effective Date: August 31, 2025
Last Updated: August 31, 2025

At Tale House (www.tale-house.com), we believe everyone should be able to explore the stories behind our curated antiques and paintings. Operated by Victoria Henderson, our small, heartfelt business is dedicated to creating an inclusive online experience that welcomes all visitors, including those with disabilities.

 

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We are committed to making our website accessible to as many people as possible, aiming to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. Our goal is to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, can browse our collections, learn about our pieces, and shop with ease.

 

Accessibility Features

Tale House, hosted on Wix, incorporates the following accessibility features:

  • Wix Accessibility Wizard: We use Wix’s built-in tools to enhance usability, including adjustments for color contrast, font sizes, and navigation to support users with visual or motor impairments.

  • Alt Text for Images: Every product image on our site includes descriptive alt text to assist users who rely on screen readers.

  • Keyboard Navigation: Our site supports keyboard navigation, leveraging Wix’s built-in functionality to ensure users can move through menus, product pages, and checkout without a mouse.

  • Readable Fonts: We’ve chosen suitably sized fonts to accommodate our audience, including older customers who may prefer larger, clearer text for easier reading.

  • Screen Reader Compatibility: We strive to ensure compatibility with screen readers (e.g., NVDA, VoiceOver) through Wix’s accessibility optimizations and our manual efforts.

 

Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing journey for us. We are continuously working to improve our website by:

  • Using Wix’s accessibility wizard to identify and address potential issues.

  • Ensuring all new product images and content include proper alt text and accessible formatting.

  • Monitoring feedback to make our site even more inclusive.
     

While we have no known accessibility issues, we rely on third-party services (e.g., Wix Stores, Shippo, PayPal, Stripe, Klarna) that may have their own accessibility practices. We are committed to working with these providers to support an accessible experience.
