Accessibility Statement

Effective Date: September 24, 2026

BandlyStore is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive and user-friendly experience for all visitors.

Accessibility Standards

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards, which are widely recognized guidelines for improving website accessibility. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide range of disabilities.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we continually work to improve the usability and accessibility of our website.

Conformance Status

BandlyStore is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content may not yet fully conform to the standard. We test for and fix issues on an ongoing basis.

Last reviewed: September 25, 2026. We review the storefront monthly and after every theme update, and we keep a history of what was checked and what was fixed:

Review History

September 25, 2026. Full review after the store's public opening: every page template (homepage, collection, product, search, cart, contact, guides, policies, 404) checked on desktop and phone with an automated accessibility engine (axe-core 4.10, WCAG 2.1 A and AA plus the WCAG 2.2 target-size rule), with menus, drawers and dialogs open, and by hand for keyboard operation, focus order, heading structure, screen-reader names, 320-pixel reflow and text spacing. Fixed the same day: search-results tab semantics and the search button's name, tap-target size of carousel dots on phones, contrast of the unselected search tab, clearer "Shop All" link names on the homepage, a darker band behind titles that sit on photographs, and customer review photos now open in an accessible image viewer instead of a new browser tab.
September 24, 2026. Homepage, collection pages, product pages and the contact page checked with the automated engine (axe-core 4.10, WCAG 2.1 A and AA) and by manual keyboard navigation before the store opened. Fixed the same day: pinch-to-zoom on mobile, keyboard access to product image galleries, and text contrast on form labels and buttons.

Checkout, customer accounts and payment pages are provided and maintained by Shopify, which publishes its own accessibility commitments for those pages.

Ongoing Efforts

We regularly review our website and make updates where feasible to improve accessibility. Our goal is to enhance the experience for all users while maintaining the functionality and design of our store.

Because accessibility standards evolve and technology changes, we view accessibility as a continuous process rather than a one-time project.

Third-Party Platforms and Integrations

BandlyStore operates on a third-party e-commerce platform and utilizes a licensed website theme and additional third-party applications. Certain functionality, design elements, infrastructure components, and embedded tools are developed and maintained by these third-party providers.

While we strive to ensure accessibility across all areas of our website, some features may be outside of our direct control. We rely on our platform, theme developers, and application providers to maintain and improve accessibility within their respective systems.

If you encounter an accessibility barrier related to any third-party component, please contact us and we will make reasonable efforts to address the issue or coordinate with the relevant provider when appropriate.
