Last updated: September 4, 2025

Our Commitment to Accessibility

At Costa Rea Boutique, we believe that fashion and style should be accessible to everyone. We are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities and creating an inclusive online shopping experience for all our customers.

Accessibility Goals

We aim to make our website accessible and user-friendly in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines help make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

Measures We're Taking

We are actively working to improve the accessibility of our website through the following measures:

  • Alternative Text: We provide descriptive alternative text for meaningful images throughout our website

  • Keyboard Navigation: Our website is designed to be navigable using keyboard-only controls

  • Clear Structure: We use proper heading structures and semantic HTML to support screen reader users

  • Color Contrast: We are continuously evaluating and improving color contrast ratios for better readability

  • Resizable Text: Text can be resized using browser text size settings without loss of content or functionality

  • Focus Indicators: Visible focus indicators help keyboard users navigate our site

Third-Party Platforms

Our website is built on Shopify, which provides accessibility features and ongoing improvements to their platform. However, we may use third-party applications or content that have varying levels of accessibility. We strive to select tools that prioritize accessibility and will work to address any accessibility issues that arise.

Accessibility Features

We are implementing and working toward the following accessibility features:

  1. Screen Reader Compatibility: Our website is compatible with popular screen readers

  2. Clear Navigation: Logical tab order and skip navigation links where appropriate

  3. Form Labels: All form fields include descriptive labels and instructions

  4. Error Identification: Clear error messages and suggestions for correction in forms

  5. Consistent Layout: Predictable navigation and consistent identification of elements

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some areas of our website may still present accessibility challenges. We acknowledge that:

  • Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible

  • Some third-party content may not meet our accessibility standards

  • Certain interactive elements may require further optimization

We are continuously working to identify and fix these issues.
