Accessibility Statement

Our commitment

The Mahjong Section is used by players of every age, and a good number of them tell us they struggle to read small tiles or small type. Accessibility is not an abstraction for this shop, it is the same problem our customers describe at the table.

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA.

Current status: partial conformance

We are honest about where we stand. This site is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 AA: parts of the site do not yet fully meet the standard.

Known limitations

  • Product images. Every image on a product we currently sell carries alternative text describing the product, its colour, material, variant and tile count. That text identifies the product rather than the specific framing of each photograph, so a close-up and a full view of the same set are described alike. Improving this photograph by photograph is on our list.
  • Colour contrast. Some secondary text and decorative elements fall below the 4.5:1 ratio and are being corrected.
  • Third-party content. Embedded checkout and payment components are supplied by Shopify and are outside our direct control.
  • Older blog posts. Heading structure in some earlier articles is inconsistent.

What we do not use

We do not use an accessibility overlay, widget, or toolbar. These tools frequently interfere with the screen readers and browser settings people already rely on, and they do not fix the underlying markup. We would rather correct the site itself, even though it is slower.

Tell us what does not work

If you meet a barrier on this site, we want to hear about it, including the small things. Please email contact@themahjongsection.com with the page address and a short description of what happened. We aim to respond within 2 business days.

If you would rather not use email, call +1 505-666-4209, Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm Mountain Time. If something on the site prevents you from completing an order, we will take the order over the phone.

Assessment

This statement reflects an internal review of the site against WCAG 2.1 AA. It has not been audited by an external body. We review it as the site changes.
