Accessibility Statement

Everyone should be able to order a loaf, no matter how they use the web. This page describes the steps Baked by Alexa takes to keep the site usable, lists known limitations, and tells you how to reach me if something gets in your way.

Our commitment

I aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines on every page of the site. Accessibility isn't a checkbox — it's ongoing work, and I review and improve the site whenever I notice an issue or someone flags one.

What's in place today

• Keyboard navigation — every interactive element (links, buttons, form fields, modals) can be reached and used with the keyboard alone. A skip-to-content link appears when you Tab into the page.
• Focus indicators — visible focus rings on every interactive element so you always know where you are.
• Semantic HTML and ARIA — proper headings, landmarks, alt text on meaningful images, ARIA roles on dialogs and live regions.
• Screen reader friendly — pages are structured for screen readers, with descriptive labels on form fields and aria labels on icon-only buttons.
• Color contrast — body text and key interactive elements meet WCAG AA contrast ratios.
• Reduced motion — if you set “reduce motion” in your operating system, animations and transitions are minimized automatically.
• Responsive layout — the site works at 200% zoom and reflows cleanly onto narrow viewports.
• No autoplay audio — no surprise sound from any page.

Known limitations

A few things I'm still working on or aware of:

• The photo slideshow on the menu auto-advances. If that's distracting, the modal (click a loaf) shows both photos side-by-side without rotation. Reduced-motion mode also stops the rotation.
• Decorative photo overlays use light text on warm color backgrounds. Where text is decorative-only it may not pass AA contrast; where it's informational it does.
• I'm a one-person operation. If you find something broken, your message goes straight to me — not a help desk.

Need help ordering?

If any part of the site is blocking you from placing an order, please don't struggle with it — email me at Bakedbyalexa24@gmail.com and I'll take the order by email and confirm everything personally. There's no “wrong” way to order; the website is just one option.

Reporting issues

If you encounter an accessibility barrier — a feature you can't use, a missing label, a broken focus state, anything — please email Bakedbyalexa24@gmail.com with:

• The page you were on (URL)
• What you were trying to do
• What got in the way (and what assistive tech, if any, you were using)

I aim to respond within 5 business days and fix issues as quickly as I'm able. Thanks for helping make the site better for everyone.
