Accessibility
At Twine and Teak, we believe that a great shopping experience should be accessible to everyone. We are committed to ensuring our digital experience meets the highest standards of web accessibility in compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines.
Visual Clarity
All text meets or exceeds WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratios. Body text uses a minimum 18px size with 1.6 line-height for comfortable reading. Our primary text achieves a 21:1 contrast ratio against the background.
Keyboard Navigation
Every interactive element on our site — including navigation, product cards, forms, and the shopping cart — is fully accessible via keyboard. Tab through the page, use Enter to activate, and Escape to close overlays.
Focus Indicators
Clear, visible focus indicators are present on all interactive elements. We use contrasting outlines that meet WCAG guidelines so keyboard users always know where they are on the page.
Screen Reader Support
Our site uses semantic HTML, descriptive ARIA labels, and meaningful alt text for all images. Form fields have proper labels, and dynamic content changes are announced to assistive technology.
Media Accessibility
No content auto-plays. All decorative images are hidden from screen readers, and meaningful images include descriptive alternative text that conveys the same information visually communicated.
Color Independence
Information is never conveyed by color alone. Status indicators, form validation, and interactive states all use text labels, icons, or patterns in addition to color to ensure universal understanding.
