Inclusive Access Policy

Current version effective as of June 1, 2024.
At My Local Business, we are dedicated to ensuring our online store is fully accessible to all individuals, adhering to the principles of equality across Louisiana.

Our Digital Mission

Digital accessibility means building a platform where every customer, regardless of physical or cognitive ability, can navigate, understand, and interact with our store. We believe in providing an equitable shopping environment through innovative design and adaptive technology.

Adherence to Connectivity Standards

My Local Business strives to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, as recognized by federal and Louisiana state guidelines for digital inclusion. To achieve this, we have implemented several technical enhancements, including:
* Enhancing keyboard-only navigation for all interactive elements
* Optimizing site architecture for screen reading software compatibility
* Establishing a logical heading hierarchy across all product pages
* Providing descriptive alternative text for visual assets
* Maintaining high color contrast ratios for better legibility
* Minimizing non-essential animations to assist users with motion sensitivities
* Capturing and captioning multimedia content for hearing impaired visitors
* Validating site code to ensure stability for assistive devices

Regarding External and Integrated Third-Party Content

While we maintain high standards for our online store, certain integrations or social media feeds may be hosted by third-party providers. We communicate our accessibility expectations to partners, though we cannot guarantee total compliance for content outside our direct control on these specific pages.

Physical Location Accommodations

My Local Business welcomes shoppers at our physical Louisiana location. Our facility is designed for ease of movement, featuring designated accessible parking near the entrance, wide aisles for mobility equipment, and low-profile service counters. We provide accessible restrooms and remain committed to assisting any customer who requires additional support to enjoy their visit. If you have specific questions regarding a visit to our store, please reach out to our team in advance so we can ensure your comfort.
