Accessibility Statement

Last updated: 20 June 2025

At Gourmet Experts Ltd we believe the joy of discovering fine food should be open to everyone. We are therefore committed to making www.gourmet-experts.com usable by all visitors, including those with disabilities.

1. What web accessibility means

An accessible website lets people with visual, auditory, motor or cognitive impairments navigate and interact with content at a level of ease and enjoyment comparable to that of other users. This can be achieved through the native capabilities of modern browsers and operating systems, in combination with assistive technologies such as screen-readers, Braille displays and speech-recognition software.

2. Measures we have taken

We have aligned our site with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 and currently target Level AA conformance. To reach this goal we have:

  1. defined a logical heading structure on every page;
  2. set a clear reading order for keyboard and screen-reader users;
  3. added descriptive alternative text to images;
  4. labelled form controls programmatically;
  5. ensured adequate colour contrast;
  6. provided visible focus indicators for keyboard navigation.


3. Accessibility toolkit (AccessEz)

Our store integrates the AccessEz accessibility widget, which offers visitors instant, on-screen adjustments, including:

  • Select Language – localises the widget interface;
  • Highlight Links / Headings – improves way-finding;
  • Bigger Text, Line & Text Spacing – enlarges and spaces copy;
  • Contrast, Brightness, Saturation – custom colour controls;
  • Reading Mask & Guide – helps focus on individual lines;
  • Pause Animations / Hide Images – reduces motion or visual load;
  • Dyslexia-friendly Fonts, Text Alignment – optimises typography;
  • Big Cursor, Voice Navigation, Text-to-Speech – aids motor or visual access;
  • Mute Sounds – silences media for noise-sensitive users.

AccessEz is compatible with Shopify environments and is built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node.js and MongoDB.

4. Conformance status

While we strive to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA in full, some third-party content and legacy materials may not yet be fully accessible. Accordingly, the website is partially conformant. We are working on continuous improvements and schedule regular accessibility reviews.

5. Known limitations & alternatives

Certain pages rely on externally supplied media that cannot yet be edited without breaking brand-identity requirements. Where practical we provide text summaries or downloadable alternatives. If you encounter a barrier not listed here, please let us know.
