A store you can't reach isn't open.
We build FaStart to WCAG 2.1 AA and are moving to 2.2 AA. It isn't certified or audited: it's work we keep doing, and you can tell us where it fails.

In place today
Checked with axe on every page rebuilt since October 2026, in both languages, on phone and desktop. Older pages are being brought up to the same bar.
Keyboard and visible focus
Menus, forms and buttons work from the keyboard, and the focused element always shows a ring.
A skip link
Every page starts with a link that skips past the menu to the content.
Headings, regions and labels
Pages are built from real headings and regions, with labels where a screen reader needs them.
Contrast
Text and background colours are paired and measured for contrast in both the light and the dark scheme.
Reflow and zoom
Pages fit a phone without sideways scrolling and reflow when you enlarge the text.
Motion you control
With reduced motion set on your device, pages show still pictures, and pages that move have a pause button.

Accessibility and performance thresholds
Accessibility, layout and page-size checks that were run for this site. They don't yet run on every release by themselves.
Commerce should work for everyone.
You can't choose who visits your store. Someone on a keyboard, listening to a screen reader or zooming the text should be able to finish the purchase too.
Three habits for your own store
Keep the contrast
When you change colours, keep text far from its background; avoid pale text on a pale field.
Describe your pictures
Give every product photo a short alt text; screen readers and search both read it.
Keep words out of images
Put prices and offers in text, so they stay readable when someone zooms in.
Tell us where it fails
Write to accessibility@fastart.co. Name the page, what stopped you, and the device and assistive technology you use.
What happens next
We treat each barrier like a bug: we reproduce it, and fix first the ones that stop the most people.
Another format
Ask for this statement in large print, plain text or simpler language, and we'll send it.
