Accessibility statement
We aim for Mayyaz's home page and the stores that run on the platform to be usable by as wide a range of people as possible, including people who rely on a keyboard, enlarge text or need clearer colours. Our target is WCAG 2.2 level AA.
This is ongoing work, not a claim of full conformance: here we say honestly what we checked, what we did not check and what we know is missing.
Display preferences
You can enlarge text up to 200%, pick an accent colour, switch on high contrast, stop motion, underline links, use your system font and increase line spacing. Your choices are kept on your device only.
What we provide
- A “Skip to content” link at the start of every page.
- Keyboard navigation with a clear 3 px focus ring.
- Page direction (right-to-left or left-to-right) follows the language.
- An automatic contrast guard: a store's brand colours are adjusted so text on them reaches at least 4.5:1, and so are the error, success and border colours.
- Form fields have visible labels, and error messages are announced through aria-live regions or role=alert (not tried with a real screen reader).
- Text sizes use relative units, so they follow your browser setting and your preferences, and touch targets are 44 px.
What we tested
- Automated axe-core scans of the 20 stores in Mayyaz's showcase gallery (home page and a product page) and of the platform home page, at 375 and 1440 px wide, then again with each display preference switched on.
- Contrast measured in the browser for each of those 20 stores in every state (light, each accent colour, high contrast): text, background, button, links, errors, borders and the focus ring.
- Simulation of the four kinds of colour-blindness in Chromium on three stores, and a look at the screenshots.
- Keyboard-only navigation: skip link, opening a product, adding it to the cart, the cart, then reaching the checkout page.
- Content reflow at 320 px wide with text at 100%, 150% and 200%.
What we did not test
- Real screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack).
- The checkout form itself (address fields and error messages): it needs the orders service, which the test setup did not run, so it was reviewed by reading the code only.
- Browsers other than Chromium, voice control and switch devices.
- Content each merchant adds themselves: image alt text, announcement-bar colours and video, and the promo-slider, lookbook and poll blocks.
- A review by external accessibility specialists.
What we know is missing
- Merchant-written content is not fully under our control; we encourage merchants to write alt text for their images.
- Dark mode is available only for stores that enabled it; we do not force a dark look on a store that never designed one, and “High contrast” stays available to everyone.
- The “offline” page is stored in the browser and is refreshed only when the site's service worker is updated.
- Not every block type available to merchants has been reviewed with a real screen reader.
Contact
Mayyaz has not yet announced a dedicated address for accessibility reports. We will add it here as soon as it exists.
