We’re actively working to address these limitations.

Our Transparent Pricing Helps Accessibility

By showing our wholesale costs plus small markup, we make accessible kitchen features more affordable. Many customers save enough through our transparent pricing to add accessibility features they couldn’t otherwise afford.

Feedback & Personal Assistance

I personally ensure every customer gets the help they need. If you encounter any barriers or need assistance:

My Personal Promise

After 30 years in kitchen design, I’ve seen how the right layout can transform daily life for people with disabilities. Just as I believe everyone deserves beautiful cabinets at fair prices, I believe everyone deserves a kitchen that works for their unique needs. I’ll personally ensure you get both.

Continuous Improvement

Accessibility isn’t a checkbox – it’s an ongoing commitment. We regularly:

• Review and update our website for accessibility
• Seek feedback from customers with disabilities
• Test with various assistive technologies
• Research new accessible kitchen products and features
• Update our design knowledge on universal design principles

Third-Party Tools

While we choose third-party tools carefully, we cannot guarantee their accessibility:

• Payment processors (we’re working on accessible alternatives)
• Manufacturer specification sheets
• 3D design software

I’ll personally assist you in accessing any third-party content necessary for your kitchen project.

Legal Compliance

We strive to meet or exceed Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards and comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This statement represents our genuine commitment to accessibility and inclusion in both our digital presence and our kitchen designs.
