Accessibility

A configurator built around dragging an image onto a canvas is exactly the kind of interface that shuts people out. This page says what we did about that, and where we know we still fall short.

1. What we are aiming at

WCAG 2.1 level AA, which is also the technical basis of the French RGAA. We are not claiming formal certification — no independent audit has been carried out — so this is a statement of what we have built and tested, not a compliance badge.

2. What is in place

  • Contrast. Body text and interface text sit at 4.5:1 or better against their background. The primary call to action is around 13:1, well past the 7:1 we hold it to.
  • Colour is never the only signal. The out-of-gamut marker is a halftone pattern and a written list naming the colour families involved. The withdrawal alert has an icon and a heading as well as its colour.
  • Keyboard throughout. Every control is reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible focus ring. There is a skip link to the main content.
  • The step rail expands to words. Each icon carries an aria-label and reveals a written label and description on hover and on keyboard focus, so it is never icon-only.
  • Dragging has a full keyboard equivalent. Arrow keys nudge the artwork; shift plus arrow moves it further; and exact X, Y, scale and rotation fields sit beside the preview. The numeric fields are the precise control, not a degraded fallback.
  • The preview has a text equivalent. A live description states the blank, the base colour, the placement values, the measured gamut coverage and the seam zones — updated as you change things, and announced to assistive technology.
  • The gamut result is written out. “22% of your artwork is more saturated than the dye set can reach — mostly in the cyans and blues” carries the same information as the marks on the image.
  • The panel degrades without losing the important parts. On a narrow screen the right-hand panel becomes a stacked block, but the cancellation deadline and the withdrawal alert stay visible rather than collapsing behind a toggle.
  • Reduced motion is respected. With the system preference set, the counting figure jumps to its value and the entrance animations do not run.
  • Images. Photographs carry descriptive alternative text; decorative marks are hidden from assistive technology.
  • Forms. Every field has a visible label, errors are announced, and no consent box is ever pre-ticked.

3. Known limitations

  • The visual preview is inherently visual. The written description carries the same facts, but it is a description of an image and cannot be equivalent to seeing it. If you would like us to check a placement for you before printing, ask and we will.
  • No independent accessibility audit has been carried out, so there may be defects we have not found.
  • The seam-whitening zones drawn on the preview are indicative of the area, not a pattern-accurate outline, for sighted and non-sighted users alike.
  • Some long policy tables scroll horizontally on very narrow screens.

4. If something does not work

Tell us and we will fix it, and in the meantime we will do the thing for you. Email support@trendsseason.site or call +33 7 63 04 90 75 Monday to Friday, 09:00–17:00 CET (closed on French public holidays). Describe what you were trying to do and what happened; you do not need to identify the technical cause.

You can order entirely without this website. Call or email us with what you want and we will configure it, quote it, run the gamut check on your file and read you the result. Same prices, same tiers, same guarantees.

5. Escalating

If we do not respond adequately, you can raise the matter with the French rights defender, the Défenseur des droits defenseurdesdroits.fr. For consumer disputes generally, see complaints and mediation.
