Accessibility Statement
Accessibility at The J. Peterman Company
The J. Peterman Company is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to the widest possible audience. We believe every customer should be able to experience our stories, explore our products, and shop with confidence, regardless of ability or the technology they use.
To support this commitment, we work to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level. These guidelines help ensure that digital content is usable for individuals with visual, motor, cognitive, and other disabilities.
Our website uses a combination of built-in accessibility best practices, assistive technology compatibility, and ongoing monitoring to help create an inclusive online experience. This includes an accessibility interface that allows visitors to personalize certain visual settings to meet their needs.
Behind the scenes, we also use automated tools that help optimize HTML structure, ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, and screen-reader compatibility. These tools assist us in identifying issues more quickly and maintaining accessibility even as our site evolves.

Screen-Reader and Keyboard Accessibility
To ensure compatibility with screen-reader technologies such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack, The J. Peterman Company uses ARIA attributes and structured HTML to help assistive tools understand page layout, content hierarchy, and interactive elements.
Our accessibility tools also analyze forms, navigation menus, modals, and buttons to support accurate labeling and ensure accessible behavior for screen-reader users. Images without text descriptions may be supplemented with AI-generated ALT text when necessary.
Keyboard users may navigate our site using standard controls such as Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Esc, and arrow keys. Skip-navigation links, focus handling, and logical tab order are supported.

Our accessibility interface includes optional profiles designed to support a wide range of needs, including:
- Epilepsy Safe Profile: Minimizes risk by reducing or disabling flashing elements.
- Vision-Impaired Profile: Adjusts contrast, enlarges text, and improves clarity.
- Cognitive Disability Profile: Provides visual aids and readability tools.
