Accessibility statement

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 at Level AA. That is the standard commonly used to judge whether a business website is accessible under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

This site was rebuilt with that standard in mind. Every page has one main heading and a skip link to the content, every image has a text description, text and background colours were checked for contrast, price lists are real tables with row and column headers, the contact form has visible labels, and the whole site works with a keyboard alone and with JavaScript switched off.

We are a small family shop and this statement is honest rather than flattering. We know about the following:

• Some product photographs are old scans and are not sharp when enlarged. The written description beside each item carries the same information.
• There is no online checkout. Orders are taken by phone, email or mail, which is described on the orders and payments page.
• We have not had the site tested by an independent accessibility auditor.

Tell us and we will fix it. Please say which page you were on and what happened. We reply to email and answer the phone during phone hours.

We will also take your whole order over the phone, read any part of the site aloud to you, and go through the measuring guide with you step by step, at no extra cost.
