(Le Bal de Sophie — Historical Costumes & Hand-stitched Confidences)

Last updated: July 19, 2025

At Le Bal de Sophie, inclusivity is not a passing trend, but a conviction stitched into the very heart of my lacework.
I am committed to making my website accessible to everyone, regardless of physical, sensory, or technological abilities. After all, everyone deserves their entrance to the ball. 🎻

1. Compliance Status

The website www.lebaldesophie.com is currently partially compliant with the French General Accessibility Guidelines (RGAA, version 4.1), due to the issues listed below.
I do my utmost to continuously improve accessibility, despite certain limitations inherent to the Wix platform on which the site is built.

2. Technologies Used

This website relies on the following technologies:

• HTML5, CSS, JavaScript

• CMS: Wix

• Compatibility with modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, …)

The site is designed to be viewable on desktop computers, tablets, and smartphones.

3. Non-accessible Content

Some elements may present accessibility challenges:

• Certain colour contrasts are not yet optimal;

• Some interactive components (dropdown menus, carousels, forms) may not be fully compatible with screen readers;

• A few image alt-texts are still being drafted;

• Keyboard navigation may be partially hindered on certain pages.

4. Right to Compensation

If you are unable to access any content or functionality, please contact me:
📩 contact@lebaldesophie.com

I will reply as swiftly as possible and provide an appropriate alternative.

5. Continuous Improvement

I am committed to improving accessibility over time by:

• Enhancing image descriptions (clear yet poetically phrased alt-texts);

• Refining colour contrasts and font sizes;

• Testing keyboard navigation;

• Making forms and buttons more accessible.

Your feedback is most welcome!
