Conformance status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. FantasyCraft Market is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Additional accessibility considerations

Although our primary objective is to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance, we have also incorporated several Level AAA Success Criteria to further enhance our site's accessibility. Notably, we have designed large portions of our website with a darker theme, a conscious decision made in consideration of users who may experience eye strain with brighter interfaces. This design approach not only ensures a high contrast text-to-background ratio, surpassing the 7:1 contrast ratio requirement of Level AAA (in some cases) but also aids in providing a more comfortable browsing experience in low-light settings and for those with specific visual sensitivities. Our commitment remains to ensure that our website is inclusive, user-friendly, and accessible to all.

Known limitations for FantasyCraft Market:

• Comments, Images, and Content from Users: Some of the user-submitted or platform-obtained content, including images, texts, and videos, might not always meet the highest accessibility or quality standards. As a digital market platform, we obtain permission to use content from various sources. We cannot always ensure the visual accessibility or quality of every piece of content. We are committed to continuously reviewing and enhancing the accessibility of content on our platform, whether it's by improving it ourselves or in collaboration with the original authors. If users encounter content that poses accessibility challenges, they're encouraged to communicate their feedback, preferably through our Email, so we or the original content creators can address the concern.
• Third-Party Widgets: Some widgets integrated into our website, sourced from third-party platforms, may not be fully accessible. We have limited control over third-party widgets' design and functionality. We're attempting to communicate with third-party providers to enhance widget accessibility. Simultaneously, we are actively working on modifying widget codes on our end to optimize them for the best user experience and accessibility standards. If you experience difficulties with any widgets, please contact our support team for assistance.
• Some Dynamic Content: Parts of our website update in real-time and might pose accessibility challenges.

Customers facing accessibility challenges during browsing can contact our support for a smoother experience.
