Accessibility
This page is about the website: being able to read what we carry, hear what a photograph shows, find today’s price and reach us — whether you use a screen reader, a keyboard alone, larger text, or cannot use a telephone. Here is where we actually are, the good and the not-yet.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, version 2.2, level AA. That is the standard most countries write into law and the one worth measuring against. We are not certified by anyone and we have not been audited by a third party: what follows is our own testing, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise.
Every image on the site has a description written for it — not the file name, not the product name repeated, but what the picture actually shows, so that someone who cannot see it gets the same thing everyone else does. Where a photograph does not exist yet, the space says so rather than sitting there empty. Text and background colours are measured, not guessed: body text sits at 14.8:1, the quietest text on the page at 4.7:1, and the buttons carry their labels at 5.4:1 — all above the 4.5:1 the standard asks for. The outline of a search box or a button clears 3:1 against what is behind it, so you can find the thing you are meant to click.
A keyboard alone will get you through the whole site. Every page starts with a link that skips the header, the focus outline is dark enough to see on every surface including the terracotta buttons, and nothing traps focus. The banner at the top of the home page can be stopped with a button, does not move at all for anyone whose system asks for reduced motion, and does not read itself aloud while it rotates.
The page reflows down to a 320-pixel screen without sideways scrolling, and it still does if you override our line height, letter spacing and word spacing with your own. Headings run in order with one h1 per page, the landmarks are real ones, and the search box, the aisle list and the expanding product sections are built to the patterns a screen reader expects rather than ones that merely look right.
Nothing on this site plays sound. There is no video, no autoplaying audio and no voice-only information, so there is nothing here that needs a caption or a transcript — every fact about a product, a price or the shop is written down.
You never have to ring us. Messenger is our main way of talking to customers, not a fallback: it is the first button on every page, we answer it through the day, and you can order, ask what is in stock and arrange delivery entirely in writing. WhatsApp works the same way.
All fourteen aisles now have a photograph with a written description. Most individual products still do not — those tiles say “photo coming soon” instead of pretending, and the name is read out either way, so nothing is lost but the picture. Product names come straight from the shop till, so some are abbreviated in ways that read oddly out loud: “2-pack”, “500g”, the odd bracket. We are tidying those at source.
We have tested this ourselves with the tools available to us. We have not yet had it tested by someone who uses a screen reader every day, which is the test that actually counts. If that is you and something here does not work, we would genuinely like to hear about it.
This statement is about the website, but the counter is worth a line: it is inside Dason Store in Bolod and there are steps to get in. It is not step-free and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Message or ring before you come and we will bring your order out to you at the road — or skip the trip altogether, because we deliver by Maxim across Panglao, Dauis, Tagbilaran, Baclayon, Alburquerque and Cortes. How delivery works.
If any part of this site keeps you from finding a price, reading a page or reaching us, please say so. Messenger is the fastest way and the phone works just as well. Tell us the page and what happened — you do not need to know the technical name for it, and there is no wrong way to report it.
We read everything that comes in and we will tell you what we are doing about it. If we cannot fix something quickly, we will say that too, and we will help you get what you came for in the meantime.
Last reviewed on 16 September 2026, by going through the site against the WCAG 2.2 AA checklist and measuring every colour pair, rather than by running a scanner over it. It is updated when the site changes or when someone tells us something we did not know.
