Accessibility Statement
_Last updated: 4 July 2026_
MaNoArt Gallery is committed to making its website accessible and usable for as many people as possible, including people with disabilities. The goal is to provide a clear, inclusive, and user-friendly online experience for visitors to the portfolio and e-commerce sections of the website.
This Accessibility Statement describes the current accessibility status of the website, the measures taken to improve accessibility, known limitations, and how users can contact MaNoArt Gallery if they encounter accessibility barriers.
## 1. Commitment to accessibility
MaNoArt Gallery aims to follow recognized accessibility principles and to improve the website over time in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, or the most applicable standard in force at the time.
Accessibility is considered during design, content creation, and technical maintenance. The website is intended to be usable with keyboard navigation, screen readers, magnification tools, and other assistive technologies wherever technically feasible.
## 2. Measures taken
The website has been developed with accessibility in mind and may include the following measures:
- semantic page structure with headings and landmarks;
- sufficient color contrast between text and background;
- keyboard-accessible navigation where possible;
- alternative text for meaningful images;
- readable typography and responsive layout;
- compatibility with modern browsers and assistive technologies;
- clear labels for forms and interactive elements;
- avoidance of content that flashes or moves in a way that may cause discomfort.
## 3. Known limitations
Despite efforts to ensure accessibility, some parts of the website may not yet be fully accessible. Possible limitations may include:
- third-party widgets or embedded content that cannot be fully controlled by MaNoArt Gallery;
- older image content that may not yet have complete alternative text;
- occasional contrast or spacing issues on specific devices or browsers;
- PDF or downloadable files that may not yet be fully optimized for assistive technologies;
- e-commerce features provided by external platforms or plugins.
MaNoArt Gallery is working to identify and address such issues where possible.
## 4. Compatibility approach
The website is intended to work with current versions of major browsers and operating systems. Where possible, it should remain compatible with assistive technologies such as:
- screen readers;
- screen magnifiers;
- speech input tools;
- keyboard-only navigation.
Users may experience differences depending on their browser, device, or assistive technology setup.
## 5. Ongoing improvement
Accessibility is an ongoing process. MaNoArt Gallery reviews content and functionality periodically and aims to improve usability whenever new content, features, or technical updates are introduced.
Feedback from users is welcomed because it helps identify barriers that may not be detected during internal testing.

## 8. Enforcement and legal context
This statement is intended to support good accessibility practice and transparency for website visitors. Depending on the website’s audience, services, and legal obligations, additional national accessibility requirements may apply and should be reviewed separately.
