Accessibility Statement

Irene’s Quilts is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all visitors, including those with disabilities. We believe that the art of quilting should be shared with everyone, and we are continually working to improve the user experience on our website by applying relevant accessibility standards. Last Updated: January 8, 2026.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities.

Irene’s Quilts is currently partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partially conformant means that while we strive for full accessibility, some parts of the content—such as highly detailed gallery images or legacy patterns—may not yet fully conform to the strictest technical standards as we continue our updates.

Efforts to Support Accessibility

We have taken the following measures to ensure the accessibility of www.irenesquilts.com:

  • Detailed Alt Text: We are systematically adding descriptive alternative text to our quilt galleries so that screen reader users can understand the patterns, colors, and textures of our work.

  • Logical Heading Hierarchy: We utilize a structured heading format (H1 through H3) to ensure the site is easy to navigate via assistive technology.

  • Keyboard Navigation: Our site is being optimized for full functionality using only a keyboard.

  • Color Contrast: We monitor text and background colors to ensure a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for maximum readability.

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some content may not yet be fully adapted.

  • Third-Party Features: Our site may include third-party tools like social media feeds or payment processors. We cannot guarantee the accessibility of these external components.

  • Complex Patterns: Some older PDF patterns or instructional diagrams may not be fully optimized for screen readers at this time.
