Accessibility Statement

At Lotus Seeds Design we take accessibility seriously, and we have tried to make this site accessible for our visitors regardless of browsing devices.

Browsing devices Support:

lotusseedsdesign.com has thoroughly tested in all current browsing devices including Internet Explorer 7 (we have dropped support for IE6). We have also tested it using assistive device, VoiceOver from Mac. The site also support mobile and touchscreen devices.

Some part of the site (e.g. theme product page) may not work with Javascript switches off and cookies disables. A screen reader user may need to have Advanced Mode switch on in order to add product to cart, and proceed to checkout. None shopping cart sections (CMS pages, blog sections) are accessible with Javascript switches off; if you are an assistive device user and would like to purchase our Magento theme but your screen reader does not support Javascript, please contact us to make an arrangement for the theme purchase.

Standards compliance

lotusseedsdesign.com is built on HTML5 with ARIA Roles support, and with structural markup. In some pages, you may find markup validation errors but please be assure that these errors are not affecting the functionality and usability of our site, nor the accessibility be scarified as a result; these markup errors may caused by the html tag(s) generated by the CMS's editor or CMS system that dictates how we should code our markup (WordPress is notorious on such dictatorship), or third party's markup via RSS feed which is beyond our control.

Keyboard Navigation Support

lotusseedsdesign.com supports keyboard navigation with high contrast colors on focus.

Links

Whenever possible, links are written to make sense out of context. There are no links that open new windows except links for PDF documents; external links are underlined to differentiate from the internal links, and if you prefer to open external link in a new window, please use right click from your mouse or keyboard shortcut to invoke contextual menu.

Color contrast

In some areas, the color contrast maybe a bit difficult for user who has vision difficulties. If you find it hard to read the content from our site due to color contrast issue, please consider following options: 1) change the display setting from your Operating system; 2) switch off style sheet-our site is fully accessible with style sheet switches off.
