Accessibility at Sacred Society
We design for presence and inclusion. Our spaces—physical and digital—are crafted to be usable by as many people as possible.
Our Commitment
We aim to meet or exceed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. We test regularly, welcome feedback, and make improvements on an ongoing schedule. If you experience a barrier, we'll work with you to find a solution.
Our commitment extends beyond compliance. We believe in creating spaces—both physical and digital—where everyone can experience the full richness of what Sacred Society offers. This means considering diverse abilities, preferences, and needs in everything we design.
Accessibility is not a destination but an ongoing practice. We're committed to continuous learning, regular evaluation, and transparent communication about our progress.
