Effective Date: April 7, 2026

​

Apiary Aroma is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all visitors, including people with disabilities. We believe everyone should be able to experience the warmth and simplicity of our beeswax candles without barriers. We are continually working to improve the usability and accessibility of our websites, apiaryaroma.ca and apiaryaroma.com, for all users.

​

1. Our Commitment to Accessibility

We are dedicated to creating an inclusive online experience that respects the diverse needs of our community. Whether you are browsing, learning, or making a purchase, we strive to ensure our website is easy to navigate, understand, and interact with.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort at Apiary Aroma. We regularly review our website and design practices to identify and remove barriers, and to improve the overall user experience for everyone.

​

2. Accessibility Standards

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, an internationally recognized standard for digital accessibility.

In addition, we are working toward alignment with the requirements and spirit of the Accessible British Columbia Act (ABCA), supporting accessibility and inclusion for people across British Columbia.

​

3. Steps We Are Taking

To support accessibility, we have implemented and continue to improve the following features on our Wix-based website:

• Keyboard Navigation: Our site is designed to be navigable using a keyboard, allowing users to move through pages and interact with elements without a mouse.

• Alternative Text (Alt Text): Images are provided with descriptive alt text where possible, helping screen reader users understand visual content.

• Screen Reader Compatibility: We aim to structure content clearly using headings, labels, and semantic elements to support screen reader technologies.

• Readable Content: We use clear, simple language and maintain sufficient contrast between text and background for readability.

• Consistent Layout: Pages are designed with a consistent structure to make navigation predictable and intuitive.

• Accessible Forms: Our checkout and contact forms are designed with labels and instructions to support a wide range of users.

We also rely on accessibility features and ongoing improvements provided by the Wix platform.

​

4. Known Limitations and Ongoing Improvements

While we strive for full accessibility, some areas of our website may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. For example:

• Some older images or content may not yet include complete alternative text

• Certain third-party apps or Wix features may have limited accessibility functionality

• Minor inconsistencies in keyboard navigation or focus indicators may occur

We are actively working to identify and address these issues. Our plan includes:

• Conducting regular accessibility audits

• Updating existing content to improve accessibility

• Reviewing third-party tools and replacing them where necessary

• Implementing ongoing training and awareness for accessibility best practices

Accessibility is a continuous journey, and we are committed to making meaningful improvements over time.
