Accessibility Statement

DreamWeave Furnishings is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Our Commitment

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 level AA, as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines helps make the web more user-friendly for all people.

Measures to Support Accessibility

DreamWeave Furnishings takes the following measures to ensure accessibility:

Conformance Status

This website 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.

Known Accessibility Issues

While we strive to make every page accessible, we are aware of some current limitations:

• Some images may lack detailed alternative text descriptions. We are actively working to improve these descriptions.
• Certain interactive elements may not be fully navigable via keyboard. We are in the process of enhancing keyboard navigation.
• The color contrast on certain elements may not fully meet WCAG guidelines. We are auditing and adjusting the color palette to improve contrast ratios.
• Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible. We are working to replace these with accessible versions or HTML equivalents.

• Regular audits using accessibility testing tools such as WAVE and Axe.
• Manual testing by individuals with disabilities to gain real-world feedback.
