Accessibility at SteinKunstWerk – Access for all
For us, this is much more than just a technical requirement. 
Accessibility is an expression of respect, mindfulness, and the belief that everyone should have the opportunity to discover our handmade products, create rituals, and experience special moments. On this page, you'll learn how we're breaking down digital barriers, making our shop accessible, and what support we offer you at any time.
🌍 Our understanding of accessibility
At SteinKunstWerk, we combine sustainability, craftsmanship, and mindfulness with a clear goal: everyone should be able to experience our products and use our content. That's why we place great importance on:
- clear language without unnecessary technical terms,
- clearly visible font sizes and contrasts,
- structured structure of pages and content,
- Easy navigation via menus, search and categories.
We want to ensure that our shop is easily accessible to people with different needs – whether browsing for scented candles , finding out about rituals or discoveringDIY products .
💻 Digital barrier-free access in the online shop
Our online shop is designed to meet current digital accessibility requirements. We pay particular attention to:
- Screen reader compatibility: Images are given descriptive ALT text so they can be read aloud.
- Keyboard navigation: All areas can be accessed without a mouse.
- Contrasts: We use color combinations that are easily recognizable even for people with visual impairments.
- Responsive design: Our shop works equally well on smartphones, tablets, and desktops.
- Clarity: Buttons, links, and calls to action are clearly visible and labeled.
You can find out more about the general standards in the Wikipedia article on accessible information technology .
📦 Products presented clearly
Our handmade products are described as not only decorative but also functional. This includes:
- precise size and weight information,
- clear instructions for use (e.g. burning time for candles, safety information),
- Photos with high contrast and neutral background,
- Texts are logically structured and written in an easy-to-understand manner.
Whether you're planning a spiritual ritual with tarot candles or want to give a lucky charm as a gift, you'll find all the important information here without any hurdles.
📖 Simple language & clear structures
Not everyone is familiar with complex technical terms. That's why we deliberately formulate our content in a simple and structured way. Paragraphs, lists, and subheadings help you grasp the content quickly. Our blog, Ritual & Space, also offers inspiration and tips in an easy-to-understand format – from DIY ideas to ritual instructions.
👥 Support & personal service
We won't leave you alone if you have any questions. Our customer support is available via email and will answer your questions within 24 hours. If you notice a barrier we haven't considered yet, please let us know at support@steinkunstwerk.de . This way, together we can further improve the user experience.
📜 Legal framework & responsibility
The EU Directive on Accessibility Requirements for Products and Services will apply from June 2025. We decided to take accessibility seriously even before this regulation came into force. For us, it's part of our corporate philosophy—not just a requirement. You can also find further information on the European Commission's website about the European Accessibility Act .
🌱 Accessibility & sustainability – two sides of the same coin
For us, sustainability and accessibility go hand in hand. Both approaches aim to conserve resources and make life more pleasant and accessible for everyone. Our shipping policies emphasize carbon-neutral delivery and recycled materials—and we also focus on resource-saving, accessible digital solutions.
💡 Examples of accessibility in practice
- All product photos contain descriptive ALT text.
- Videos in our blog are supplemented with subtitles.
- Our color palette is high-contrast and also suitable for people with color vision deficiency.
- Forms are easy to use and self-explanatory.
