Accessibility Statement
Last updated: 01/12/2026
Rarely Ordinary Collection 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 provide equal access to information, resources, and products.
Accessibility is a core value of Rarely Ordinary Collection. This website and its content are created by and for people living with chronic illness, rare disease, and disability, and accessibility is treated as an essential part of care, dignity, and respect — not an afterthought.
Our Commitment
We strive to make the Rarely Ordinary Collection website accessible to the widest possible audience, including individuals who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard navigation, voice recognition software, and alternative input devices.
We recognize that disability and access needs vary, and we are committed to ongoing improvement rather than one-time compliance.
Accessibility Standards
Rarely Ordinary Collection aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, which is the standard most commonly referenced by courts and the U.S. Department of Justice when evaluating website accessibility under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Our accessibility efforts are guided by the four WCAG principles:
Content is perceivable
Interface elements are operable
Information is understandable
Content is robust and compatible with assistive technologies
Accessibility Features
The Rarely Ordinary Collection website includes the following accessibility features:
Clear, consistent navigation
Logical heading structure for screen reader users
Alt text for meaningful images
Sufficient color contrast for text and interactive elements
Keyboard-accessible navigation
Responsive design that supports zooming and mobile access
Readable fonts and spacing to support cognitive accessibility
Accessible forms with appropriate labels and instructions
Where possible, we also design downloadable resources and digital products with accessibility in mind, including selectable text, clear structure, and readable formatting.
Ongoing Accessibility Efforts
Accessibility is an ongoing process. As content, features, and products are added or updated, we actively review them to improve accessibility and usability.
Our ongoing efforts include:
Reviewing new content for accessibility
Testing keyboard navigation
Ensuring alternative text is provided for images
Evaluating downloadable resources and PDFs
Addressing accessibility feedback in a timely manner
Known Limitations
While we strive to ensure full accessibility across the website, some older content, third-party integrations, or externally hosted platforms (such as payment processors or external marketplaces) may not yet fully conform to WCAG 2.1 AA standards. We are continuously working to improve accessibility where feasible.
