Our Commitment to Accessibility

At IndianShopping.com, we believe that online shopping should be accessible to everyone. We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of ability or technology.

We actively work to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and in doing so adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines. We strive to ensure that our digital services are accessible to people with disabilities including those with visual, hearing, cognitive, and motor impairments.

Our Accessibility Goal

We aim to achieve and maintain WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across our entire website, ensuring that everyone can browse products, make purchases, and access all features of IndianShopping.com.

WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. IndianShopping.com is committed to conforming to WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

Perceivable

Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive. We provide text alternatives for non-text content and make it easier to see and hear content.

Operable

User interface components and navigation must be operable. We ensure all functionality is available from a keyboard and provide users enough time to read and use content.

Understandable

Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable. We make text readable and predictable, and help users avoid and correct mistakes.

Robust

Content must be robust enough to be interpreted by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies. We maximize compatibility with current and future tools.

Accessibility Features

Keyboard Navigation

All functionality is accessible via keyboard. Use Tab to navigate, Enter to activate, and Escape to close dialogs.

Skip Links

Skip navigation links allow users to jump directly to main content, bypassing repetitive elements.

Alternative Text

All images include descriptive alternative text for screen reader users and when images fail to load.

Color Contrast

We maintain a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text to ensure readability.

Dark Mode

A dark mode option reduces eye strain and improves visibility for users with light sensitivity.

Resizable Text

Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality using browser zoom.

Proper heading hierarchy and semantic HTML elements help screen readers understand page structure.

All form fields have associated labels and clear error messages to assist with form completion.
