Scope
This accessibility statement applies to the website hrdiamonds.com (including all subpages and content, unless otherwise stated).
Status of compatibility
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. Non-compliant content and exceptions are listed below.
Non-accessible content
According to our latest review, the following aspects, among others, are (still) not fully accessible:
- Alternative texts (alt texts) for images – For some of the photos/featured images, alternative texts are either not yet available or are insufficient in content. Measure: Alt texts will be gradually added or improved. Planned timeframe: Ongoing, with priority on current and frequently visited pages.
- Subtitles/Captions for Videos – Some embedded or self-hosted videos currently do not have optional subtitles. Action: Provision of subtitles (and, where appropriate, audio descriptions/transcripts). Planned Timeframe: Gradual implementation; new videos will be made accessible from the outset whenever possible.
- Audit Coverage – As part of the audit, a selection of representative pages were tested. no claim is made that all subpages or dynamic areas are completely accessible. Action: Continuous expansion of the audit scope and gradual removal of identified barriers.
Contrast & Branding
We use a predefined branding color palette. To still achieve a legible contrast level, a contrast switch (high-contrast option) is available, which can be used to increase the contrast of the brand colors.
- Goal: Compliance with WCAG contrast criteria (at least 4.5:1 for body text or 3:1 for large/bold font) in the high-contrast setting.
- Note: In the standard branding view, individual combinations may fall below the target ratio; activating the switch automatically enhances color contrast.
Note regarding disproportionate burden: For some legacy cases, immediate and complete adaptation may represent a disproportionate burden. We plan to implement gradual optimization within the framework of regular maintenance cycles.
Compatibility & Technology
This website is generally usable with current versions of common browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and on both desktop and mobile devices. It uses HTML5, WAI-ARIA, CSS, and JavaScript.
