Inclusion
Accessibility
We design for keyboard, screen readers, motion preferences, and zoom - not only for mouse and perfect vision.
Last updated April 2026
WEARHOUSE is committed to WCAG-inspired practices on the web: perceivable content, operable UI, understandable copy, and robust implementation. We will not always be perfect on day one of a feature, but we treat regressions as bugs and prioritise fixes that unblock core commerce flows.
How we test
Automated scanners catch a subset of issues (missing labels, colour contrast failures). Human review covers focus order, screen reader announcements, and real-device zoom behaviour. New components ship with keyboard paths before we consider them complete.
Assistive technologies we routinely verify
- VoiceOver on latest iOS Safari
- TalkBack on current Android Chrome
- NVDA or JAWS on Windows + Chrome/Edge
- Keyboard-only navigation without pointer
Conformance goal
We target WCAG 2.2 Level AA for primary journeys: sign-in, search, listing detail, checkout (where web checkout exists), messages, and account settings. Some marketing pages or legacy surfaces may lag; we document known gaps here as we become aware of them and ship remedial work in normal release cadence.
| Area | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Core UI components | Continuous improvement | Labels tied to inputs, focus rings |
| User-generated images | Varies | Sellers should describe key details in text |
| Embedded third parties | Varies | May not meet our full baseline |
Motion & vestibular comfort
Hero imagery uses slow drift animation; if you prefer reduced motion, your OS setting should minimise non-essential movement across the site. We avoid flashing content above seizure-safe thresholds.
If something feels broken with your setup, tell us the browser, OS, and assistive tool - we reproduce with the same stack whenever possible.
Third-party content
Payment providers, maps, or embedded players may introduce their own accessibility characteristics. We select vendors partly on usability and escalate issues to partners when members are blocked.
