This statement applies to content published on the domain: wawsome.com

It does not apply to other content or websites published on any of its subdomains. These websites and their content will have their own specific accessibility statement.

This website is operated by Wawsome and has been designed with the goal of being usable by as many individuals as possible, including those with disabilities.

In line with this, the website is committed to following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level, established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines are a global standard for making web content accessible to people with various disabilities.

To achieve this, the website incorporates several technologies aimed at maintaining a high level of accessibility. An accessibility interface is available, allowing users to adjust the design and interface according to their specific needs using a range of accessibility controls.

Additionally, an AI-driven tool runs continuously in the background, optimizing the website's accessibility. This tool dynamically adjusts the website's HTML, ensuring compatibility with screen readers for visually impaired users, and enhances keyboard navigation for users with motor impairments.

As a result of these technologies, we offer every user that browses our website the accessibility settings listed below.

UI and Readability Adjustments

Color adjustments

Users can customize their visual experience by adjusting contrast and saturation settings. For a simpler viewing option, users can also switch to a monochrome display, enhancing readability and reducing visual strain for users with specific needs.

Text adjustments

Users can personalize their reading experience by changing the font family (including a dyslexia-friendly option), adjusting font size, letter spacing, line height, and text alignment, ensuring optimal readability and comfort.

Stop animations

Users that are sensitive to motion or experiencing cognitive overload can pause all on-screen animations, reducing distractions and improving focus.

Content highlighting

Users can emphasize key information on the website, such as links and titles, making important elements easier to locate and improving overall navigation for a more focused browsing experience.

Mute Sounds

Users can instantly disable all audio on the website, providing a quieter browsing experience and helping those sensitive to sound or browsing in sound-sensitive environments.

Cursor adjustments

Users can enhance cursor visibility by increasing its size, or switch to a reading mask or guide for improved focus. This is especially beneficial for users with ADHD or those who have difficulty concentrating.

Screen Reader Optimizations

Our Screen Reader Optimization leverages AI to continuously scan the website and inject ARIA labels into key elements, ensuring seamless screen reader navigation. This process provides clear form labels, meaningful descriptions for icons (like social media, search, or cart icons), and proper roles for interactive elements such as buttons, menus, and pop-ups. Additionally, our background process automatically generates ALT text for images using object recognition and OCR technology, ensuring all visual content is described accurately.

The AI adapts as the website updates, maintaining ongoing compliance without requiring manual adjustments. Screen-reader users can activate this mode at any time by pressing Alt+1, and they are automatically prompted when they enter the website. Our optimizations are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack, ensuring a smooth experience across all platforms.

Keyboard Navigation Optimizations

Our Keyboard Navigation feature ensures that the entire website is fully operable using only the keyboard, providing users with smooth and intuitive navigation. Using AI, we inject necessary attributes into the website’s HTML, enabling full keyboard accessibility. Users can navigate through the site with Tab and Shift+Tab keys, interact with dropdowns using arrow keys, trigger links and buttons with Enter, and manage radio buttons and checkboxes with arrow keys and the Spacebar or Enter key.

Additionally, keyboard users benefit from a content-skip menu available at any time by pressing Alt+2, or as the first element in the navigation order. Our system automatically shifts focus to triggered pop-ups, preventing focus from drifting outside the active area. Users can also take advantage of shortcuts, such as 'M' for menus, 'H' for headings, 'F' for forms, 'B' for buttons, and 'G' for graphics, to quickly jump to specific sections. These features ensure a smooth browsing experience for users relying on keyboard navigation.
