Accessibility
Everyone should be able to enter the garden.
Olive & Edith is committed to making its website and digital experiences welcoming and usable for people with disabilities.
Accessibility is not an ornamental feature added after the garden is built. It is part of how the paths are made.
What We Are Working Toward
Our ongoing accessibility work includes:
-
Clear heading structure and page organization
-
Meaningful alternative text for informative images
-
Keyboard-accessible navigation and controls
-
Visible focus indicators
-
Sufficient color contrast
-
Readable type sizes and spacing
-
Labels and instructions for forms
-
Captions or transcripts for meaningful audio and video
-
Controls for sound, with no required autoplay
-
Reduced-motion support for visitors who request it
-
Descriptive link and button language
-
Responsive layouts that remain usable when enlarged
-
Plain-language explanations for important transactions and policies
Because Olive & Edith contains detailed artwork, garden photography, maps, botanical specimens, and atmospheric media, some visual experiences may require especially thoughtful alternatives. We will continue learning how to describe them without reducing them to generic labels.
Need Another Way In?
If you encounter an accessibility barrier, need information in another format, or cannot complete an action on the website, please contact oliveandedith@gmail.com.
If possible, include:
-
The page or feature involved
-
What you were trying to do
-
The barrier you encountered
-
The assistive technology and browser used, if you wish to share them
-
The best way to respond
We will acknowledge accessibility messages within 3-5 business days and work toward a reasonable response or alternative.
An Ongoing Practice
Websites change, technologies change, and accessibility work is never completely finished. We will review the site as new pages, media, shop features, and community tools are added.
