What we aim for

We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA. We are a two-person business and have not commissioned a formal audit, so this is a statement of intent and of what has actually been built, not a certification.

What is in place

• Text contrast of at least 4.5:1 against its background throughout; body text is considerably higher.
• Every page works from the keyboard alone, with a visible focus outline and a skip link to the main content.
• Headings are in order and used for structure, not for size.
• Images that carry meaning have alternative text; decorative ones are hidden from screen readers.
• Forms have real labels, and errors say what is wrong and how to fix it.
• Text reflows to a single column at 400px and can be zoomed to 200% without loss of content.
• Animation is suppressed entirely when your system asks for reduced motion.
• Nothing relies on colour alone: stock status, order status and errors all carry text as well.

Known gaps

• The dashboard used by the shop owner is not held to the same standard. It is not public.
• Product photography alt text is written by us and will improve as real photographs replace placeholders.
• We have not tested with every combination of screen reader and browser.
