Accessibility

Overview

Making your store accessible ensures everyone can shop with you, including people with disabilities. It's also a legal requirement in many jurisdictions.

Built-in accessibility features

• Semantic HTML — proper heading hierarchy and landmark elements
• Keyboard navigation — all interactive elements are keyboard accessible
• ARIA labels — screen reader support for icons and interactive elements
• Color contrast — stone palette meets WCAG AA contrast requirements
• Focus indicators — visible focus rings on all interactive elements
• RTL support — full right-to-left layout for Arabic and Hebrew

Standards

Katura targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance. The component library (shadcn/ui) is built with accessibility as a core requirement.

Testing accessibility

• Use browser developer tools (Lighthouse accessibility audit)
• Test with a screen reader (VoiceOver on Mac, NVDA on Windows)
• Test keyboard-only navigation
