Accessibility Policy
Our Commitment
Rockbarton Garden Centre is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying relevant accessibility standards to create an inclusive online environment.
We believe gardening should be accessible to all, and the same principle applies to our website.
Conformance Status
This website has been developed in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. These guidelines inform our approach to layout, navigation, content structure, colour contrast, and interactive functionality.
We are committed to maintaining and enhancing accessibility as part of our ongoing digital development.
Non-Accessible Content
While we strive to ensure full accessibility, some areas of the website currently rely on third-party technologies that may not fully meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards.
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:
WooCommerce – Select2 Input Fields
Some enhanced dropdown fields powered by WooCommerce Select2 may not always provide a fully accessible name to assistive technologies.
Stripe Payment Integration
Certain ARIA hidden elements within the Stripe payment interface may not be fully compatible with screen readers. As Stripe is a secure third-party payment provider, we do not have direct control over its internal accessibility structure.
Third-Party Plugins & Integrations
This website uses third-party plugins and embedded services to enhance functionality. While we aim to work with providers who prioritise accessibility, we do not have full control over the accessibility compliance of all third-party components. We will continue to monitor updates and improvements from these providers.
