The design of our online shop follows the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, conformity Level AA. Our goal is to ensure that our entire digital offering is accessible, usable, and safe for all people – regardless of physical or cognitive limitations.

We ensure that our digital offerings work in various usage contexts – even with limitations in perception, motor skills, or cognition. The implemented measures include:

• Visual alternatives: Content is usable without color differentiation; all relevant information is provided with text alternatives.
• Auditory alternatives: Our functions do not require hearing ability. Audio signals are visually supplemented or can be perceived in other ways.
• Motor accessibility: The operation of our content is possible without precise mouse movements, with alternative input devices, and without excessive physical effort.
• Avoidance of visual stimuli: We avoid content that could increase the risk of photosensitive seizures (e.g., through flickering or blinking elements).
• Cognitive support: Our user interface is clearly structured, easy to understand, and supports users with cognitive limitations in orientation and operation.

We regularly review our digital offerings for accessibility and promptly implement technical and design optimisations. This ensures long-term compliance with legal requirements – especially with regard to the New Zealand Government Web Accessibility Standards - Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA – as well as a low-barrier user experience for all.
