Content or functions that are not yet accessible

Perceivability

  • The service includes functionalities (e.g., buttons, form fields) and text content whose contrast against their background is too low. (WCAG 1.4.3; 1.4.11)
  •  Keyboard focus is not sufficiently distinguishable when navigating the page. (WCAG 2.4.7)
  • On some mobile devices, enlarging the text causes the page to require horizontal scrolling to view all content. (WCAG 1.4.10)
  • On iPhones, text content does not adhere to the font size set in the device settings. (WCAG 1.4.10)

 

Navigation and moving around the service

  • Screen reader incorrectly reports all menu items in the main menu as open even when they are closed. (WCAG 4.1.2)

  • Screen reader reads some of the main menu items twice (WCAG 1.3.1)

  •  On category pages, there are multiple identical “Quick Add” buttons not programmatically linked to their respective products, making their association unclear. (WCAG 1.3.1)
