Accessibility

Factual, not legal advice
This page describes how the system actually behaves today. It is accurate as a description and is not a legal declaration.
The European Accessibility Act, implemented in Germany as the BFSG, applies to consumer-facing e-commerce services. A published accessibility statement is part of it, and it is easy to overlook until launch, so it starts here.
What we are aiming for
WCAG 2.1 level AA, with keyboard navigation, screen-reader labelling, and a Lighthouse score of at least 90 for performance and accessibility on the five core screens.
What is already true
Built in from the start rather than retrofitted:
- A skip link to the main content, and semantic landmarks throughout.
- Every interactive element reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible focus ring.
- The orientation map is not image-only: its nodes are focusable buttons, and below 768px it becomes a vertical priority list carrying exactly the same information.
- Illustrations carry text alternatives; decorative shapes are hidden from assistive technology.
- All motion is removed under prefers-reduced-motion.
- Status changes are announced through live regions rather than shown only as colour.
What is not done
No independent audit has been carried out, and no conformance is claimed. A font-size control, a full colour-contrast pass, and an external WCAG audit are outstanding. This statement will name a date, a testing method and a feedback route once that work is done — the version you are reading is an honest interim, not a declaration.
