Web Accessibility Statement
 

Last Updated: March 17, 2025
 

At Stateside Office Furniture we firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone. We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the broadest possible audience, regardless of ability.

Our mission is to ensure that everyone—whether shopping for ergonomic chairs, desks, or filing cabinets via our accessible drop shipping services—enjoys a seamless and inclusive experience.
 

Compliance Status

To fulfill this commitment, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities, including blind individuals, those with motor impairments, visual impairments, cognitive disabilities, and more. Complying with these standards helps us ensure our site is accessible to all, enhancing office furniture accessibility for every user.
 

Our Ongoing Efforts

We value all of our customers and are dedicated to improving the accessibility of our site to provide a consistent, top-tier online experience. Our team utilizes various technologies to keep the site as accessible as possible at all times. We also employ an AI-based application running in the background, constantly optimizing accessibility by remediating HTML, adapting functionality for screen readers, and supporting keyboard navigation for motor-impaired users. Despite our best efforts, some pages may not yet be fully accessible, but we’re continually updating options, adding features, and adopting new technologies to reach optimal accessibility as advancements emerge.
 

Screen-Reader and Keyboard Navigation

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside behavioral adjustments, to ensure blind users with screen readers (e.g., JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack) can read, comprehend, and enjoy its functions. Upon entry, screen-reader users receive a prompt to activate the Screen-Reader Profile for effective browsing.
Key features include:

• Screen-Reader Optimization: A process scans components top-to-bottom, providing meaningful ARIA data—accurate form labels, icon descriptions (e.g., social media, cart), input validation, and roles (buttons, menus, popups). It also scans images for ALT text via image-object recognition and extracts embedded text with OCR technology. Press Alt+1 to enable adjustments anytime, with automatic announcements for screen-reader mode activation.

• Keyboard Navigation Optimization: JavaScript adjusts HTML to enable full operation via keyboard—navigate with Tab/Shift+Tab, use arrow keys for dropdowns, Esc to close, Enter for actions, and Spacebar/Enter for radio/checkbox elements. Content-skip menus are available via Alt+2, and popups shift focus automatically. Shortcuts like “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) jump to specific elements.
   

Supported Disability Profiles

We offer an accessibility interface adjusting the UI to personal needs:

• Epilepsy Safe Profile: Eliminates seizure risks from flashing animations and risky colors.

• Vision Impaired Profile: Adapts for degrading eyesight, tunnel vision, cataracts, glaucoma, etc.

• Cognitive Disability Profile: Assists autism, dyslexia, and CVA with focus-enhancing features.

• ADHD Friendly Profile: Reduces distractions for better focus.

• Blind Users Profile: Optimizes for screen readers like JAWS and NVDA.

• Keyboard Navigation Profile: Enables motor-impaired users to use Tab, Shift+Tab, and Enter.
   

Additional UI, Design, and Readability Adjustments

• Font Adjustments: Increase/decrease size, change type, adjust spacing, and alignment.

• Color Adjustments: Options like light, dark, inverted, monochrome, with seven color schemes.

• Animations: Stop videos, GIFs, and transitions with a button.

• Content Highlighting: Emphasize links, titles, or focused elements.

• Audio Muting: Instantly mute auto-playing audio.

• Cognitive Support: Linked search engine (Wikipedia/Wiktionary) deciphers terms.

• Extras: Custom cursor size/color, printing mode, virtual keyboard.
   

Browser and Assistive Technology Compatibility

We support over 95% of the market share, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge, and Opera, plus screen readers like JAWS and NVDA on Windows and macOS, ensuring flexibility for all users.
