Hensley’s Seed Co.

Accessibility Statement

We want every gardener to be able to browse seeds, read growing information and place an order on hensleyseeds.com, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification or other assistive technology.

Our goal

We are working toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, the standard published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). We have not completed a formal third-party audit yet, so some pages or features may not fully meet that standard today.

What we do

  • Write descriptive alternative text for product, collection and article images, and review it when we add new varieties.
  • Use real headings, labels and link text so pages make sense when read aloud.
  • Keep menus, filters, the cart and forms usable with a keyboard, with a visible focus outline.
  • Choose text and background colors with readable contrast, and let pages resize and zoom without losing content.
  • Offer our growing guides as web pages as well as downloadable PDFs.
  • Check new pages and theme changes for accessibility before they go live, and fix problems we or our customers find.

Known limitations

  • Some older PDF guides and charts may not be fully tagged for screen readers. If you need the information in another format, ask us and we will send it as plain text.
  • Some content provided by outside services, such as payment, maps or embedded media, is controlled by those providers.
  • With thousands of seed listings, a small number of images may still be missing useful alternative text.

Compatibility

The site is built with standard HTML, CSS and JavaScript and is designed to work with current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on desktop and mobile, together with common screen readers and browser zoom.

Tell us about a problem

If something on our site is hard to use, please let us know which page you were on, what you were trying to do and the browser or assistive technology you use. We can also help you find seeds and answer questions about an order by phone or email while we fix the issue.

We aim to reply to accessibility feedback within 5 business days.
