Accessibility
Able Gear serves the disability community, so accessibility is a priority, not an afterthought. We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA across the site.
What we do
- Full keyboard operation, a skip-to-content link, and clearly visible focus.
- Readable text at 16px and up, with colour contrast that meets AA.
- Labelled form fields with clear, in-line error messages.
- Required descriptive text (alt text) on the first photo of every listing.
- A layout that works on small screens without horizontal scrolling, and respects reduced-motion settings.
Ongoing work
Accessibility is never finished. We test with automated tools and by keyboard, and we keep improving. If you use a screen reader, magnifier, switch access, or any assistive technology and something does not work, we want to know.
Report a barrier
If you hit an accessibility barrier anywhere on Able Gear, please tell us so we can fix it. Email info@ablecanada.ca, or see the About page for how Able Gear works and how to reach the project. We treat accessibility issues as high priority.
