Accessibility Statement

This statement was last updated on June 6, 2026.

Whitford Books is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all visitors, including individuals with disabilities. We are continually working to improve the user experience for everyone and to apply relevant accessibility standards wherever possible.

What web accessibility is

An accessible website allows visitors with disabilities to browse and interact with content with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved through the capabilities of the systems on which the website operates and through the use of assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard navigation tools, and other accessibility aids.

Accessibility Adjustments on This Site

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards.

To support accessibility, we have implemented measures including:

Setting the primary language of the website.
Maintaining a clear and consistent content structure.
Using logical heading hierarchies throughout the site.
Providing alternative text for meaningful images whenever possible.
Using color combinations designed to meet recommended contrast requirements.
Supporting keyboard navigation where available.
Reducing unnecessary motion and visual effects where practical.
Working to ensure that downloadable files, images, and media content are accessible whenever possible.

We regularly review our website and make improvements to enhance accessibility and usability for all visitors.

Third-Party Content

Certain pages may contain content provided by third-party services, including embedded media, payment processors, social media integrations, or external links. While we strive to work with accessible providers, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party content that is not under our direct control.

Physical Accessibility

Whitford Books primarily operates as an online business and does not maintain a public retail location. Any in-person events, book signings, readings, or appearances are typically hosted at third-party venues. Accessibility accommodations at those locations are determined by the venue operator. Visitors are encouraged to contact the hosting venue directly regarding accessibility features and accommodations.
