Accessibility Statement for The Spice House
We want everyone who visits the The Spice House website to feel welcome and find the experience rewarding, going above and beyond the recommendations stated in Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act 1998.
What did we do
To help us make the The Spice House website a positive place for everyone, we've used the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, more compatible with assistive technology, and more user friendly for everyone.
The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA and AAA). We’ve chosen Level AA as the target for the The Spice House website.
How did we do it
We've worked hard on The Spice House website and we've hired the certified professionals at ilumino, llc to help us achieve our goal of Level AA accessibility.
