Accessibility

Lightness is for everyone.

A brand about ease has no business shipping a website that is hard to use. Here is what we build for, what we test, and how to reach us when something gets in your way anyway.

Our standard

We aim for WCAG 2.2 Level AA across the site. Where we fall short of that mark, we treat it as a bug with the same priority as a broken checkout, because for the person affected that is exactly what it is.

What that looks like in practice

  • Contrast, even in the dark. Our evening theme runs cream text on deep fir green, and every text and control color is checked against AA contrast ratios. Moody is a design choice; illegible is a defect.
  • Full keyboard access. Every link, button, form field, accordion and the Ring Test dial can be reached and operated with a keyboard alone, with a visible gold focus outline so you always know where you are.
  • Screen reader structure. Real headings in a sensible order, labeled form fields, alt text on meaningful images, and ARIA labels on the interactive furniture like the cart and the mobile menu.
  • Reduced motion respected. If your system asks for reduced motion, our animations, the candle flicker, the scroll-lit timeline, the marquee, all quiet down to essentially nothing.
  • Videos that behave. Ambient clips are muted and decorative; nothing on the site autoplays sound at you, ever, because we are not monsters.
  • Resizable text. The layout is built on relative units and holds together at 200% browser zoom without content wandering off the edge.

How we test

Automated contrast and structure checks run on every significant change, and we test by hand with keyboard-only navigation and screen readers on the pages that matter most: home, product, checkout and this one. Real devices, small screens included, because a 390px phone is where most of you are reading this.

Known limitations

We are honest about the edges. Some decorative video clips do not carry captions because they contain no speech or information. The before-and-after drag slider offers the same information in adjacent text for anyone who cannot or would rather not drag. If we have missed something beyond these, we want to know about it more than we want to look finished.

Tell us when it breaks

If any part of this site is hard for you to see, navigate or operate, email hello@elariq.com with “ACCESSIBILITY” in the subject, or use the contact form. Tell us the page and what got in the way; the assistive tech you were using helps but is not required. A person replies within one business day, and accessibility reports jump the queue.

If the site is preventing you from placing an order, we will happily take the order by email while we fix the obstacle. The obstacle is our problem; the bottle is still yours.
