At Modestories, we believe in inclusivity not just in fashion but in digital experiences too. We want everyone who visits the Modestories website to feel welcome, respected, and empowered. That’s why we are committed to making our website accessible and user-friendly for all, including individuals with disabilities.

What We’re Doing

To help us create a positive experience for all users, we’ve been working in alignment with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, a globally recognized standard for improving web accessibility. These guidelines explain how to make digital content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities—including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

The WCAG guidelines have three levels of conformance: A, AA, and AAA. At Modestories, we have selected Level A & AA as our accessibility target.

How We Did It

We partnered with Evrim Agency, our digital development and creative partner, to design and build a website that aligns with WCAG 2.1 Level A & AA standards. The goal has been to create an inclusive online shopping experience that reflects our brand values and supports all of our users, regardless of ability.

The following pages and templates were included in the scope of our accessibility efforts:

• Home
• About Us / Our Story
• Shop (Category and Product Pages)
• Cart & Checkout
• Account: Login, Sign-Up, Orders, Addresses
• Privacy Policy
• Terms & Conditions
• Returns & Exchanges
• FAQ
• Contact Page
• Accessibility Statement
• Global Elements (Header, Navigation, Footer, Search)
• Newsletter Pop-ups & Cookie Banner
  

We have conducted both manual testing and automated testing using a combination of screen readers such as VoiceOver, NVDA, and JAWS, as well as automated auditing tools.

Third-Party Services

Some areas of our website are powered by third-party services, and while we strive to ensure full accessibility across our platform, certain limitations may still exist in these areas:

• Shopify Checkout
• Cookie Consent Banner
• Triple Whale Tracking
  

We are actively working with our partners and vendors to ensure these components meet WCAG 2.1 Level A & AA standards.

Ongoing Commitment

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We continuously monitor and update the Modestories website to maintain accessibility standards and improve the experience for all users. We are committed to addressing any issues that arise as technologies evolve and standards change.
