ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

Effective Date: October 9, 2026

At Your Own Museum, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to explore our collections, discover our services, and enjoy a positive online experience.

We are committed to improving the accessibility and usability of our website for visitors of all abilities, including individuals who use assistive technologies.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Our goal is to make our website accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology, ability, or method of interaction.

We aim to follow recognized web accessibility practices, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA, as a reference for ongoing improvements.

Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we recognize that some areas of our website may require further evaluation or refinement.

Accessibility Features & Improvements

As we develop and maintain our website, we seek to address important accessibility considerations, including:

Keyboard Navigation: Supporting access to interactive website features without requiring a mouse.
Readable Content: Presenting information using clear language, logical headings, and organized page structures.
Color Contrast: Working toward sufficient contrast between text and background elements.
Alternative Text: Providing meaningful text descriptions for informative images where appropriate.
Screen Reader Compatibility: Supporting the interpretation of website content by assistive technologies.
Accessible Forms: Improving form labels, instructions, and error messages.
Responsive Design: Supporting visitors using desktop computers, tablets, mobile devices, and different screen sizes.
Accessible Purchasing: Working to improve access to product information, shopping features, and checkout functions.

Assistive Technology

Our website is intended to support commonly used browsers and assistive technologies, including screen readers, screen magnification software, and keyboard-based navigation.

Actual compatibility may vary depending on the browser, device, assistive technology, and specific website feature.

Third-Party Content & Services

Certain website functions may be provided by third-party platforms, including payment processors, embedded media, or other integrated services.

Although we seek accessible solutions, we may not control every aspect of third-party content or functionality.

We welcome reports of accessibility difficulties involving these features.

Ongoing Accessibility Efforts

We recognize that accessibility requires continued attention as website content, technology, and functionality change.

Our efforts may include reviewing page structures, evaluating interactive elements, improving image descriptions, and addressing accessibility barriers identified through testing or visitor feedback.

This statement describes our accessibility goals and ongoing efforts; it is not a certification that every page or feature currently meets a particular accessibility standard.
