Accessibility Statement

Scope of this statement

• The online store, which is published at a separate address. The store runs on different infrastructure with a separate code base and requires its own accessibility assessment.
• Third party platforms such as social media accounts, messaging applications and map services.
• External addresses linked from this site. From the moment you follow such a link, the accessibility status and policies of that service apply.

Our approach to accessibility

Conformance status and target

Accessibility measures in place

• Skip to content link: on every page the first focusable element becomes visible when it receives keyboard focus and jumps straight to the main content.
• Landmark structure: every page has a single main content region, separate header and footer regions, and named navigation regions.
• Heading structure: every page has a single top level heading, and this is checked automatically.
• Page language: the language of the page is marked as Turkish or English. Proper names that should be read in another language carry their own language marking, so that screen readers pronounce them correctly.
• Visible focus: the focused element is outlined in purple during keyboard navigation. In form fields the outline is adjusted separately so that it sits on the box of the field.
• Reduced motion: if the reduce motion preference is set in the operating system, animations and transitions are stopped, smooth scrolling is turned off, and the opening film on the home page is not loaded at all; a still image is shown instead.
• Keyboard use: interactive elements are built with standard button and link elements. No function requires a mouse.
• Dialogues: the piece story and image zoom windows open with the browser’s own dialogue element, close with the Esc key, and return focus to the element that opened them. The mobile menu drawer has a focus trap, closes with Esc and returns focus as well.
• Assistive labels: icon only buttons carry a text label, decorative images are hidden from assistive technology, and form errors are tied to the relevant field and announced as they occur.
• Forms: every field label is bound to its field, required fields are marked, and error messages are given in text rather than by colour alone.
• Alternative text: content images carry alternative text. Whether any image is missing its alternative text is checked automatically across every page at four screen widths.
• Text size: the type scale is fluid and supports browser zoom. Each step of the scale is bounded so that text is not clipped when enlarged.
• Turkish characters: the typeface is loaded with the Latin Extended subset from our own server. The characters ğ, Ğ, ı, İ, ş, Ş, ç, Ç, ö, Ö, ü, Ü all render, and no request is made to an external font service.
• Map: the showroom map is Google Maps' embedded map; the frame has an accessible name, and a directions link for the same location is provided separately in the address block of the page. Accessibility within the frame is the responsibility of the map provider.

Measured colour contrast

• Primary text on the page background: 13.21:1 (above the AAA threshold of 7:1)
• Secondary text on the page background: 6.24:1 (above the AA threshold of 4.5:1)
• Purple accent colour on the page background: 9.00:1
• Deep purple accent on the page background: 10.98:1
• White text on the purple ground: 10.15:1
• Lilac text on the purple ground: 7.85:1

Known limitations

• The opening film on the home page starts automatically and plays in a loop. There is no control for pausing or stopping it. This is a gap in relation to WCAG 2.2 success criterion 2.2.2 (Pause, Stop, Hide), Level A. As a mitigation, the film is not loaded at all for visitors whose operating system has the reduce motion preference set, and a still image is shown instead; this does not, however, replace a control that works independently of the operating system setting. Adding a pause control is being considered.
• The film has no audio track and its content is described in text. Whether that description is sufficient for video only content (WCAG 1.2.1) has not been confirmed by an independent audit.
• The decorative rule has a contrast ratio of 1.33:1 against the page background. Where it is used as a separator it carries no information and presents no problem; where it is used as the visible boundary of a control or form field, the 3:1 threshold (WCAG 1.4.11, Level AA) may not be met. Its individual uses have not been reviewed one by one.
• The zoom layer for product images is built so that it can be navigated by keyboard, but it has not been tested end to end with screen readers or other assistive technology.
• The site contains visible placeholder areas whose content is still awaited. The alternative text and heading structure of these areas will be reassessed once the final content is in place.
• No rule engine that tests accessibility criteria automatically is used in the development process. The automated checks in place cover a measurable subset: missing alternative text, a single top level heading per page, the presence of the main content region, duplicate identifiers, broken images, form label binding and page language. They do not cover the full set of WCAG criteria.
• The site has not been tested together with people who use screen readers, voice control or screen magnification software.

Third party content and external links

• The showroom map is Google Maps' embedded map; it loads when that section of the Contact page comes into view. Accessibility of the content within the frame is the responsibility of the map provider and falls outside the scope of this statement. If you follow the directions link you are taken to the same service's own site.
• The typeface is served from our own domain; no request is made to an external font service.
• Links to the online store, to social media accounts and to the messaging application lead to separate sites. The accessibility of those sites is outside the scope of this statement.

Legal framework

• Law no. 5378 on Persons with Disabilities establishes, as a general principle, that information and communication technology should be accessible to disabled people.
• Presidential Circular no. 2025/10 (Official Gazette of 21 June 2025, no. 32933) sets a criterion and a compliance period for the accessibility of websites and mobile applications for the organisations it lists; the criterion is WCAG 2.2 together with a Level A checklist. Whether our corporate presentation site falls among the organisations listed in the circular is a matter of interpretation and is being assessed with our legal counsel. This statement makes no finding either way.
• Directive (EU) 2019/882, known as the European Accessibility Act, applies according to whether the services within its scope are offered to consumers in the European Union, and it provides an exemption for micro enterprises in respect of services. Whether it applies here has not been determined.
