Accessibility Statement

Balloon Confections is committed to ensuring our website is accessible and welcoming to everyone, regardless of ability or technology.

Our Commitment

Balloon Confections is dedicated to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Our website has been designed and developed with accessibility as a priority, incorporating features that support users of assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and voice control software.

We continuously review and improve our site to maintain and enhance accessibility for all visitors.

Accessibility Features

Here's what we've built into the Balloon Confections website to support all users.

Visual Accessibility

  • Color contrast ratios meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text)
  • Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality
  • All images include descriptive alt text; decorative images are marked appropriately
  • No content relies on color alone to convey meaning

Keyboard Navigation

  • All interactive elements are fully accessible via keyboard
  • Visible focus indicators are present on all focusable elements
  • A skip-to-main-content link is available at the top of every page
  • Logical tab order follows the visual layout of each page

Screen Reader Support

  • Semantic HTML is used throughout — headings, landmarks, lists, and form labels
  • ARIA roles and labels are applied where native HTML is insufficient
  • Decorative elements are hidden from assistive technologies with aria-hidden
  • Dynamic content updates are announced appropriately

Responsive & Mobile

  • The site is fully responsive and usable on all screen sizes and devices
  • Touch targets meet minimum size requirements for ease of use
  • Content reflows correctly at all viewport widths without horizontal scrolling
  • Animations respect the prefers-reduced-motion system setting
