Our Commitment to Accessibility
At Essentially Edith, we believe every woman deserves a beautiful,
welcoming, and easy-to-use shopping experience—no matter how she browses
the web. We are committed to making our website accessible to as many
people as possible, including people who use assistive technologies such
as screen readers, keyboard navigation, voice controls, or magnification
software.

Essentially Edith is more than a place to shop. It is a space created to
help women feel seen, inspired, and confident in taking up space.
Accessibility is an important part of creating that sense of belonging.

It is not a one-time project for us. As our website, collections, and
community continue to grow, we will continue working to make the
experience more inclusive and easier to use.

Standards We Follow
We aim to design and maintain our website in alignment with the Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These
internationally recognized guidelines help make websites more
perceivable, operable, understandable, and reliable for people with a
wide range of abilities.

What We’re Doing
Here are some of the ways we work to make the Essentially Edith website
easier to use for everyone:

Color and contrast: We aim to use color combinations that support
readability for customers with low vision or color-vision differences.

Readable typography: We choose text sizes, spacing, and styles with
comfortable reading in mind.

Alternative text: We add descriptive alternative text to product imagery
and important visual content so screen-reader users can understand what
is shown.

Keyboard navigation: We work to ensure visitors can move through our
site using a keyboard without requiring a mouse.

Clear page structure: We use logical heading structures to help visitors
and assistive technologies navigate each page.

Mobile-friendly design: Our website is designed to work smoothly across
phones, tablets, and desktop devices.

Descriptive buttons and links: We aim to make links and buttons clear
about where they lead and what action they perform.

Labeled forms: We work to ensure that forms, including contact,
newsletter, and checkout fields, are clearly labeled.

Known Limitations
We are always working to improve, and we want to be transparent about
areas that may not yet be fully accessible.

Because our site features a growing collection of vintage-inspired
fashion imagery, some older or newly added images may be in the process
of receiving complete alternative text.

Certain features provided by third-party services, such as payment
processors, product reviews, social-media embeds, or other Shopify apps,
may not be fully within our control or fully accessible in every
circumstance.

If we offer downloadable documents or other files, some may not yet be
optimized for all screen readers.

If you encounter a barrier while using any part of our website, please
let us know. We will do our best to provide the information, product
details, or shopping support you need in a format that works for you.

Compatible Technologies
The Essentially Edith website is designed to work with the most recent
versions of major web browsers, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and
Microsoft Edge. We also aim to support commonly used assistive
technologies, including screen readers such as NVDA, JAWS, and
VoiceOver.

We’d Love Your Feedback
If you experience difficulty using our website, have trouble completing
a purchase, or have an idea that would make the experience better, we
genuinely want to hear from you. Your feedback helps us create a more
welcoming experience for every woman who visits Essentially Edith.
