Accessibility Statement
Last updated: September 1, 2026
PawUrnCo, LLC ("PawUrnCo," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to make our website www.pawurnco.com (the "Site") accessible to all visitors, including those with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities.
1. Our Commitment
We believe that everyone deserves equal access to information and services, regardless of ability. Our commitment to accessibility extends to our website, customer service, and all digital communications. We strive to create an inclusive online experience that allows all customers to browse our products, place orders, and access information about our custom pet memorials with ease.
We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we are committed to continuously evaluating and improving our website to meet and exceed accessibility standards.
2. Accessibility Standards
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. WCAG 2.1 Level AA covers a wide range of recommendations for making web content more accessible, including principles for perceivability, operability, understandability, and robustness.
Key accessibility features implemented on our Site include:
- Semantic HTML: Proper use of HTML5 semantic elements (header, nav, main, section, article, footer, etc.) to provide structure and meaning for assistive technologies.
- Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements are accessible via keyboard, with visible focus indicators. A "skip to main content" link is provided for keyboard users.
- Alternative Text: All meaningful images include descriptive alt text. Decorative images are marked as decorative to be ignored by screen readers.
- Color Contrast: Text and interactive elements maintain sufficient color contrast ratios (minimum 4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text) to meet WCAG AA standards.
- Responsive Design: The Site is fully responsive and works across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices, with text that scales appropriately.
- Form Accessibility: All form fields have associated labels, required fields are clearly indicated, and error messages are descriptive and associated with the relevant field.
- ARIA Attributes: Appropriate ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) roles and labels are used where native HTML semantics are insufficient.
- Navigation: Consistent navigation structure with clear labels, breadcrumb navigation, and multiple ways to locate content.
- Media: Videos include captions where applicable, and auto-playing media is avoided.
- Readable Text: Clear typography with adequate line spacing, paragraph spacing, and font sizes that can be resized without breaking layout.
3. Compatibility with Assistive Technologies
Our Site is designed to be compatible with common assistive technologies, including but not limited to:
- Screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver (macOS/iOS), and TalkBack (Android)
- Screen magnification software
- Speech recognition software
- Alternative input devices (switch controls, eye-tracking, etc.)
- Browser accessibility features (text resizing, high contrast mode, etc.)
We regularly test our Site with these technologies and conduct automated accessibility scans using industry-standard tools. However, please note that different assistive technologies and browser combinations may render content differently, and we are committed to addressing any compatibility issues that are brought to our attention.
4. Known Limitations
Despite our best efforts, there may be some limitations to the accessibility of our Site. We are actively working to address these and improve the overall accessibility experience. Known areas of ongoing improvement include:
- Some third-party embedded content (such as maps, videos, or social media widgets) may have accessibility limitations that are outside of our direct control. We work with our third-party providers to encourage accessibility improvements.
- Some legacy PDF documents may not be fully accessible. We are in the process of remediating these documents and ensuring all new documents meet accessibility standards.
- Our live chat widget may have limited keyboard navigation in certain browser configurations. We are working with our chat provider to improve this.
- Some complex interactive features may require additional testing with specific assistive technology combinations.
We view these limitations as opportunities for improvement and are committed to resolving them as quickly as possible.
