Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

Boojee Estate is committed to making boojee.estate accessible to all visitors — including people using assistive technologies, keyboard navigation, screen readers, or mobile devices. We target WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance across our public-facing pages.

We recognize that accessibility is not a one-time effort. Our pages are actively developed and accessibility improvements are part of our ongoing site-hardening process. Automated axe-core audits run against all key pages; we are working through findings by severity wave.

What We Are Doing

Current accessibility measures in place across boojee.estate:

• Semantic HTML — pages use proper heading hierarchy (single h1, logical h2/h3 structure), landmarks (main, nav, footer), and lists where appropriate
• Language attribute — all pages declare lang="en" for correct screen reader pronunciation
• Skip navigation — a "Skip to main content" link is present on all pages via the global nav component; it becomes visible on keyboard focus
• Form labels — all form inputs have associated <label> elements or aria-label attributes
• Keyboard navigation — interactive elements (links, buttons, form controls) are reachable and operable via keyboard; scrollable regions include tabindex="0"
• Focus visibility — focus indicators use a 2px gold outline on interactive elements site-wide
• Color contrast — body text targets minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio against dark backgrounds; a systematic contrast remediation pass is underway
• Responsive design — all pages are usable at 320px minimum width; pinch-zoom is not blocked
• Alternative text — meaningful images include descriptive alt text; decorative images use empty alt attributes (alt="")
• ARIA labels — complex interactive regions (dialogs, tablists, scrollable regions) carry aria-label attributes; hidden panels use inert to prevent focus leakage
• No autoplay — no media autoplays with audio
• No content flashes — no content flashes or flickers that could trigger photosensitive responses; animation:none via prefers-reduced-motion is honored

Known Limitations

We are a continuously evolving site. Known or potential limitations include:

• Some older pages built before our current design system may not fully meet all WCAG 2.1 AA criteria — we are working through these systematically by violation severity
• The global navigation and footer components are currently under a contrast remediation pass; some text colors may not yet meet 4.5:1 during this transition
• Third-party embedded content (Stripe payment elements) is controlled by Stripe and has its own accessibility characteristics outside our direct control
• Some decorative typographic elements use small text sizes; we are auditing these for contrast compliance

Report an Issue

If you encounter an accessibility barrier on boojee.estate, we want to know. Please include:

• The URL of the page where you encountered the issue
• A description of what you were trying to do and what happened
• Your device, browser, and any assistive technology you are using

If our response does not resolve your concern, you may contact the relevant national accessibility enforcement body in your jurisdiction.

Technical Specifications

boojee.estate relies on the following technologies for conformance:

• HTML5 semantic elements
• CSS3 (including media queries for responsive layout and prefers-reduced-motion)
• JavaScript (progressive enhancement — core content accessible without JS)

We test with keyboard-only navigation and modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). We reference axe-core 4.12 for automated auditing and NVDA/VoiceOver for screen reader verification.

Formal Compliance Status

We do not claim full WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance — that would require a formal independent audit. We claim partial conformance: we work toward AA on all new and updated pages, while older pages are being brought up to standard systematically. This is an honest representation of our current state.

We do not hold a "GDPR certified," "ADA certified," or any other certification that does not exist in law. No website can be legally certified as ADA compliant by a private body.
