What works, what doesn't yet, and who to tell.
6.1The standard we build toward
WCAG 2.1, level AA — the same target most public-sector sites are held to. We don't claim a perfect score; we claim it's the yardstick every page gets measured against, and that gaps get fixed when they're found.
6.2What's built in
Text alternatives on images, labels on every form field, keyboard-reachable controls, honest heading structure, and colors checked for contrast on both the paper and night sections. If your system asks for reduced motion, the site listens: the animated hero holds a still frame, the tilting cards stop tilting, and the counters simply state their numbers.
6.3Where it's imperfect
The animated hero and the knit-lab canvas are decoration, and they're marked that way so screen readers skip past the pixels; the radar on the Visit page announces itself as a stylized map instead. The colorway ring reads out as ordinary text, but spinning it takes a pointer — so the same four dyes are spelled out in the copy around it. Some product photos are supplier placeholders carrying brief descriptions until our own photography lands. If we've missed something beyond that, we want to know.
6.4The shop itself
The floor is street-level with a wide door and room to move between the racks, and there's a bench to sit on while we fix your hem. If anything about the space doesn't work for you, call ahead and we'll bring the rack to the door.
6.5Tell us what's broken
Hit something that doesn't work with your screen reader, keyboard, or anything else? Email shop@passiveapparel.com or call +1 (906) 978-8381 and tell us what happened and what you were using. Accessibility bugs go to the front of the queue, and we'll tell you when it's fixed.
