Accessible & ADA-Compliant BigCommerce Theme

Accessibility

• “In short”: an easy-read summary of the product near the top
• A written audio description of the product, for shoppers who cannot see the photos
• Colour and ear options are labelled choices, grouped and named for screen readers
• “Helps with” shows who the product suits, in words and icons

Accessibility

• Shop by need: see better, hear better, move and reach and more
• After a filter, screen readers hear how many products are left
• Sort and price change only when you press Apply, never on their own
• On phones, filters open from their own Filters button

Accessibility

• Every button says which product it is for, like “Remove: LED Stand Magnifier”
• Quantity buttons are named too: “Increase quantity of 3x Handheld Reading Magnifier”
• The free shipping bar tells you in words how close you are, not only with colour

Accessibility

• A big, clearly labelled search box, and the number of results in words
• Results split into Products and Pages and articles, with a count on each tab
• Each filter says how many products it has, like “See better, 2 products”

Accessibility

• Screen readers hear “Rated 4.0 out of 5”, not a row of star symbols
• Each review title is a heading, so you can jump from one review to the next
• Name, date and rating sit together, easy to read at any zoom level

Accessibility

• A real table with a caption and row headers, read row by row by screen readers
• Each product shows its plain “In short” summary and real stock status, like “In stock”
• Each remove button names the product, like “Remove LED Stand Magnifier from the comparison”
• On small screens the table scrolls sideways inside its own box, never the whole page

Accessibility

• Find a brand by typing its name, or by its first letter
• Letters with no brands are marked, and screen readers hear “no brands”
• The number of brands shown is always written above the list

Accessibility

• A “Show password” button, so you can check what you typed
• Email and password fields work with autofill and password managers
• Trouble signing in? A phone number and a written contact option, right on the page

Accessibility

• Every question is a real heading, so screen reader users can jump between them
• Short, plain-language answers, with a link to ask a real person
• Links to every help page, like shipping and returns, in one menu

Accessibility

• Leave a required field empty and the error appears right under it, in words with a ✕ icon
• The form says “Fields marked * are required” before you start typing
• Every field has a visible label, and name, email and phone work with autofill
• Trouble sending? A phone number is right there on the form

Accessibility

• Search by city or ZIP code, or use your location
• Filter stores by access: step-free, hearing loop, quiet room, ASL staff, parking or lift
• Each store lists its access features in words and icons
• The map is only a picture, and everything on it is also in the list

Accessibility

• Search the guides and stories from a labelled search box
• Every article title is a heading, with its topic, author and date in plain text
• Topics are solid pills, like “Shopping online”, so you know what each article is about

Accessibility

• Format is a solid pill, like “In person”, and access features are in words, like “ASL on request”
• Filter events by format, price or city, and switch between Upcoming and Past
• Every event has an “Add to calendar” link and a clear “Book a seat” button
