Accessibility-statement

At Oceanzen, we believe everyone deserves access to the freshest, sustainably sourced seafood. We are dedicated to ensuring our website and services are accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. This statement outlines our ongoing efforts to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1 AA) and improve digital inclusivity.

 Accessible Design Principles

• Intuitive Navigation: Clear headings, keyboard-friendly menus, and consistent layouts to support screen readers and motor impairments.
• Alt Text & Descriptions: All product images (e.g., wild-caught salmon, organic shrimp packs) include descriptive alt text for visual impairments.
• Contrast & Readability: High-contrast text and adjustable font sizes for users with low vision.
• Form & Checkout Support: Labels for all subscription form fields (e.g., delivery frequency, seafood preferences) and error alerts for seamless transactions.

Ongoing Improvements

• Regular Audits: Partnering with accessibility tools like WAVE and axe to identify and fix barriers.
• Team Training: Educating our staff on inclusive design practices to prioritize accessibility in updates.

We value your experience. If you encounter barriers or have suggestions:

Email: oceanzenus@gmail.com

We aim to respond within 48 hours and provide solutions promptly.

While we strive for full control, some elements (e.g., embedded maps for local delivery zones) may rely on external providers. We actively collaborate with partners to advocate for accessibility.

Oceanzen is partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 AA. Known exceptions include:

Video Content: Pre-recorded cooking tutorials lack full captions (solutions in progress by Q4 2024).

Complex Filters: Advanced seafood selection tools (e.g., "Filter by Shellfish Allergy") are being optimized for screen readers.

This statement adheres to:

• Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
• EN 301 549 (EU Accessibility Directive)
