WCAG 2.1 AA, measured rather than assumed
We want this site to be usable by everyone who needs to order packaging, including
people using a screen reader, a keyboard alone, or a magnified display.
What we target
We build to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. That is our standard, and we test against it
rather than assuming.
What we have done
- Contrast is measured, not judged by eye. Body text and interface text are
checked against their actual composited background and meet or exceed the 4.5:1 requirement; our
main text measures better than 11:1. - Every interactive element is reachable by keyboard, in a sensible order, with a
visible focus indicator. A skip link is the first thing in the tab order. - Every product image has descriptive alternative text.
- Headings are properly nested and each page has exactly one h1.
- Form fields have real labels, not placeholder text pretending to be one.
- Data tables use proper header cells and scope attributes, so a screen reader
can announce which column a value belongs to. - Colour is never the only carrier of meaning. Where two states differ, they also
differ by weight, position or label — we checked this under simulated colour-vision deficiency as
well as normal vision. - Motion respects
prefers-reduced-motion, and no content is hidden
behind an animation that requires JavaScript to reveal it. - The layout works down to 320px and reflows without horizontal scrolling.
Known limitations
The stock ledger and the department die-line on the home page are wide by nature and scroll
horizontally inside their own container on a narrow screen. The information in both is also
available as ordinary linked text on the departments page, which does
not scroll sideways.
