WCAG 2.2 Level A and Level AA
Evaluator
Andrew Szigety. Certified as a DHS Trusted Tester for Web after this report was issued (TT‑2606‑09221, June 2026).
Evaluation methods
Manual testing with keyboard-only navigation and the NVDA screen reader, supported by automated scanning. Every reported failure was confirmed by hand.
Scope
Five representative page templates: home, collection, product, terms and conditions, and a product quiz.
How to read this report. A criterion is marked Partially Supports when some content in scope meets it and some does not. It is marked Supports when no failure was found on the pages evaluated, and Not Applicable when the pages in scope contain nothing the criterion governs. Nothing here is marked from an unresolved or pending state: every criterion listed below was evaluated, and every failure was manually confirmed before it was written down.

Scope and limits of this report

This is an honest statement of what the evaluation does and does not establish.

Table 1: Success Criteria, Level A

WCAG 2.2 Level A 31 criteria. 8 partially support; the remainder support.
CriterionConformance levelRemarks and explanations
1.1.1 Non-text Content A Partially Supports Image Alt Text. 14 issues, each listed with its affected elements in the remediation plan. Product and content images carried filename-based or empty alt text where a description was required. Decorative images were not consistently hidden from assistive technology. Remediation steps and code-level fixes are in the published remediation plan.
1.2.1 Audio-only and Video-only (Prerecorded) A Supports No failures identified on the pages in scope.
1.2.2 Captions (Prerecorded) A Supports No failures identified on the pages in scope.
1.2.3 Audio Description or Media Alternative (Prerecorded) A Supports No failures identified on the pages in scope.
1.3.1 Info and Relationships A Partially Supports Semantic Markup and Structure. 5 issues, each listed with its affected elements in the remediation plan. Headings and lists were styled visually rather than marked up semantically, so structure was not conveyed programmatically. Remediation steps and code-level fixes are in the published remediation plan.
1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence A Partially Supports Meaningful Reading Order. 6 issues, each listed with its affected elements in the remediation plan. DOM order diverged from visual order in several layout regions, producing a reading sequence that did not match the presentation. Remediation steps and code-level fixes are in the published remediation plan.
1.3.3 Sensory Characteristics A Supports No failures identified on the pages in scope.
1.4.1 Use of Color A Partially Supports Use of Color. 1 issue, listed with its affected elements in the remediation plan. Colour alone was used to distinguish a state, with no accompanying text or shape cue. Remediation steps and code-level fixes are in the published remediation plan.

2.5.2 Pointer Cancellation A Supports No failures identified on the pages in scope.
2.5.3 Label in Name A Partially Supports Label in Name. 1 issue, listed with its affected elements in the remediation plan. A control's accessible name did not contain its visible label text, so voice-control users could not target it by name. Remediation steps and code-level fixes are in the published remediation plan.
2.5.4 Motion Actuation A Supports No failures identified on the pages in scope.
