ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

Readability before decoration.

WORLD FASHION DATABASE uses WCAG 2.2 AA as a design target. This statement does not claim complete conformance; it records completed tests and remaining checks. Updated 21 August 2026.

FORMAT: SITE RECORD
UPDATED: 2026-08-20

Support currently provided

The site includes a skip link, visible keyboard focus, language metadata, larger text, focus reading mode, saved-record management, reduced-motion handling and forced-colour support.

44 px targets for primary controls

Test environments

The pre-publication verification matrix targets Chromium desktop and mobile dimensions, keyboard-only operation, 200% and 400% zoom, Windows forced colours and mobile safe areas. Automated checks and rendered-page inspection are recorded separately so planned checks are not described as completed.

Known limitations

Spatial relationships in the historical atlas, the long rights register and accessibility of external retailers remain under review. External-site quality cannot be guaranteed. Owner-only administration remains separately protected.
