The Learning Journey International Accessibility Audit
Redesign The Learning Journey International website to modern and WCAG Compliant accessible website using Ananyoo Shopify theme.
This The Learning Journey International accessibility audit and WCAG 2.1 AA remediation covered the website of a brand of educational toys and learning games for children.
An educational-toy brand sells through product pages with age and skill guidance, then a cart and checkout. Parents and gift-buyers — some using assistive technology — need that guidance and those controls to be accessible to choose and buy the right toy.

Why accessibility matters for an educational-toy brand
Education providers carry clear accessibility duties. In the United States, Section 508 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title III require accessible education technology and information, and WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the working standard. For The Learning Journey International the stakes are direct: students, parents and staff who use assistive technology must be able to read information, complete forms and reach learning materials just like everyone else — access to education depends on it.
Scope and standard
Our The Learning Journey International accessibility audit assessed the site against WCAG 2.1 Level AA, mapped to the ADA, across the journeys that matter: product pages, age and skill guidance, the cart and checkout, search and filtering, and navigation.
How we ran the The Learning Journey International accessibility audit
- Screen-reader testing with JAWS and NVDA on Windows, VoiceOver on macOS and iOS, and TalkBack on Android
- Automated audits with Deque axe, Google Lighthouse and WAVE
- Keyboard-only operation of every step, with attention to focus order and a clearly visible focus indicator
- Colour-contrast analysis, plus 400% zoom and reflow testing for low-vision users
What accessibility means on each part of the site
Because The Learning Journey International serves learners and families, our The Learning Journey International accessibility audit focused on the parts they rely on:
- Programme and information pages need a clear heading structure and readable text, so a screen-reader user can find what they need.
- Enrolment, application and contact forms need programmatic labels, clear instructions and announced errors, so signing up never depends on sight or a mouse.
- Documents, calendars and resources need to be tagged and readable, since much information is delivered as downloads.
- Any learning tools or portals need keyboard operability, managed focus and assistive-technology support.
- Navigation and content need visible focus, sufficient colour contrast and clean reflow at high zoom.
Outcome
This The Learning Journey International accessibility audit, combining manual and automated testing with remediation, brought the site into line with WCAG 2.1 AA expectations, so people using a screen reader or a keyboard can use it without barriers. Every fix was verified with assistive technology rather than assumed from an automated pass, so the result holds up in real use.
