We ensure that all images, especially those of our bouquets and products, have descriptive alternative text. Navigational areas, buttons, and forms are built with accessible markup so users who use screen readers can order Florist Whetstone offerings with clarity and independence. Our continuous testing with screen readers helps us improve and address any potential barriers to access.
