ACCESSIBILITY

Our Commitment
At Brand Atelier, we believe great design is design that works for everyone. We are committed to making our website https://www.brandatelier.studio accessible to as many people as possible, including people with disabilities and people using assistive technologies.
This statement explains the steps we have taken to make our website accessible, the standards we follow, the tools we provide on the site, the limitations we are aware of, and how you can reach us if something isn't working for you.
Standards We Follow
Our goal is to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA — the international standard developed by the W3C and adopted in EU legislation, including the European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882) and Greek Law 4727/2020.
These guidelines are organised around four principles. They state that content should be:

• Perceivable — information must be presented in ways users can perceive (e.g. alternative text for images, sufficient colour contrast)

• Operable — users must be able to navigate and interact with the interface (e.g. keyboard accessibility, no time traps)

• Understandable — content and interfaces must be predictable and easy to read

• Robust — content must work reliably across browsers, devices, and assistive technologies

Conformance Status
This website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not yet fully meet the accessibility standard, and we are actively working to improve them.
We carry out internal reviews of our website on a regular basis and address issues as they are identified.
Last internal review: [Date] Method of assessment: Self-evaluation, supported by automated accessibility testing tools and manual checks.
What We've Done
To make our website more accessible, we have worked to ensure that:

• Text has sufficient colour contrast against its background

• Images include descriptive alternative text where appropriate

• The site is navigable using a keyboard

• Headings and landmarks are used to structure content logically

• Forms include clear labels and error messages

• Links and buttons have descriptive, meaningful text

• The website is responsive and works on a range of screen sizes

• Content is written in plain, clear language wherever possible

Accessibility Tool on Our Site
Our website includes an accessibility widget powered by AccessEz (developed by EazeApps), available via a dedicated icon on the page. The widget is provided as a supplementary tool to give visitors quick, on-the-fly adjustments to suit their preferences. It is not a substitute for the underlying accessibility of our site, and it is not a guarantee of full WCAG, EAA, or ADA compliance.
Through the widget, visitors can activate features such as:

• Accessibility profiles for low vision, dyslexia, seizure-safe browsing, and more

• Contrast adjustments (light, dark, and high-contrast modes)

• Text adjustments — size, spacing, alignment, and font

• Link and title highlighting for easier scanning

• Text-to-speech for reading content aloud

• Larger cursor and other navigation aids

• Pause animations / reduce motion

How to use it
Look for the accessibility icon on the side of any page on our site (it appears as a small button overlaid on the screen). Click or tap it to open the widget, then choose the profile or adjustment that suits you. Your preferences will apply across the site for the duration of your visit.
Important note
Some users — particularly those who rely on dedicated assistive technology like screen readers — may prefer not to use the widget, as their own software already handles many of these adjustments and overlay tools can occasionally interfere with how it works. If that's you, you can simply ignore the widget; the rest of the site is designed to work directly with your assistive technology.
