accessibility statement

At Belle Âme Atelier, inclusivity, respect, and beauty are inseparable values.
As a Parisian jewelry maison devoted to excellence, we believe that refinement extends beyond craftsmanship — it must also be reflected in how every individual experiences our creations.
Accessibility is therefore a fundamental aspect of our digital presence and brand philosophy.

Our Commitment

Belle Âme Atelier is dedicated to ensuring that our website and digital communications are accessible to all users, including those with physical, sensory, or cognitive disabilities.
We are continuously working to create an online experience that allows every visitor — regardless of ability, age, or technology — to discover our collections, make purchases, and access brand information with ease and confidence.

We view accessibility not only as a legal or technical requirement, but as an ethical obligation rooted in our Maison’s founding principles: elegance, respect, and universality.
Just as every jewel is crafted with attention to the smallest detail, every aspect of our website is designed with care to ensure that it may be appreciated and enjoyed by everyone.

Standards and Guidelines

Our web development process adheres to internationally recognized accessibility frameworks, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Our objective is to meet or exceed WCAG Level AA compliance across all content and interactive features.

These guidelines ensure that our website remains:

  • Perceivable: All content is presented in ways that users can easily see or hear, with alternative text for images and captions for videos.

  • Operable: Navigation is intuitive, consistent, and fully usable via keyboard or assistive technologies.

  • Understandable: Information and interface elements are presented clearly and predictably.

  • Robust: Content is compatible with a variety of current and future user agents, browsers, and assistive devices.

Website Design and Functionality

Our website employs a responsive design to ensure accessibility across devices, from desktop to mobile.
Color palettes are chosen to maintain high contrast and legibility while preserving our brand’s aesthetic harmony.
Text sizes are adjustable using browser tools, and we use semantic HTML coding to allow screen readers to interpret content accurately.
Interactive elements — such as product galleries, navigation menus, and checkout forms — are built to be accessible via keyboard navigation and screen readers.

Every image of our creations is accompanied by descriptive alt text that conveys its essence and purpose without compromising artistic intent.
We continue to refine the presentation of motion, animations, and decorative visuals to avoid potential discomfort for users with sensitivity to visual effects.

Ongoing Maintenance and Audits

Accessibility is an evolving commitment.
Our team performs periodic audits and user testing to identify potential barriers and ensure continuous compliance with current standards.
We collaborate with accessibility consultants to review new features prior to release and incorporate improvements as technology advances.
All updates — from design enhancements to third-party integrations — are reviewed for accessibility before implementation.

Third-Party Content

Certain sections of our website, such as embedded videos, social-media widgets, or payment gateways, may rely on third-party platforms.
While Belle Âme Atelier does not control the accessibility of these external components, we actively select partners who share our commitment to inclusive design and provide accessible experiences wherever possible.
We also encourage our service providers to adhere to WCAG standards and international best practices.

Continuous Improvement

Belle Âme Atelier considers accessibility an integral part of its design philosophy and corporate responsibility.
We invest in employee training, accessibility audits, and inclusive design research to ensure our Maison remains at the forefront of responsible digital luxury.
Our goal is to make every digital touchpoint — from product discovery to purchase — an intuitive, elegant, and inclusive experience for all.
