GAUDON USA LLC is committed to making gaudon.store accessible to the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities. We design, build, and maintain the Site with accessibility in mind and are continually working to improve the experience for every user.
1. Conformance status
gaudon.store is designed to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). WCAG defines requirements that make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, cognitive, motor, speech, and neurological.
2. Measures we take
- Semantic HTML, descriptive alt text on meaningful images, and clear link labels.
- Color-contrast ratios that meet or exceed WCAG AA (4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text).
- Full keyboard navigability with visible focus states on every interactive element.
- Form labels, error messages, and help text that announce correctly to assistive technology.
- Respect for the
prefers-reduced-motionsetting, so non-essential animation can be disabled at the operating-system level. - Touch targets of at least 44 × 44 pixels on mobile.
- Compatibility with major screen readers, including VoiceOver, NVDA, and JAWS.
- Regular accessibility training for our design and engineering team.
3. Compatibility
gaudon.store is designed to be compatible with the latest two major versions of the following browsers and assistive technologies:
- Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox on macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android;
- VoiceOver on macOS and iOS;
- NVDA and JAWS on Windows;
- TalkBack on Android.
4. Technical specifications
The Site relies on the following technologies for conformance with the accessibility standards used:
- HTML5
- WAI-ARIA
- CSS
- JavaScript
These technologies are relied upon for conformance with the accessibility standards used.
5. Assessment approach
Our team uses a combination of methods to evaluate accessibility:
- Automated testing with axe-core and Lighthouse on every build;
- Manual keyboard-only navigation walkthroughs of all primary user flows;
- Screen-reader spot checks on new pages, forms, and components;
- Mobile accessibility checks on iOS and Android devices;
- Quarterly third-party reviews of priority pages.
6. Known limitations
Despite our efforts to make gaudon.store accessible, parts of the Site may not yet be fully conformant. Known limitations include:
- Some product photography and downloadable PDFs (TDS, SDS) may not yet have accessible alternative formats. Accessible alternatives are available on request.
- Embedded third-party content, including Google Maps, YouTube videos, and Zoho forms, follows the accessibility behavior provided by those third parties.
- Some PDFs predating May 2026 may not be tagged for screen readers. We are remediating these on a rolling basis.
7. Alternative formats
If you cannot access information on the Site, we are glad to provide it in an alternative format. Please contact us and we can:
- Email or read out product datasheets (TDS) and safety data sheets (SDS);
- Provide quote details, order summaries, and warranty terms in plain-text format;
- Walk through application guidance or technical support over the phone.
