Accessibility.
A store about sight should be usable by everyone. Here's how we hold that line.
Last updated · June 2026
Our commitment
Eyewear is about sight, so a store that's hard to see or operate would be a contradiction. We build VANTA to be usable by everyone — with a keyboard, a screen reader, a magnifier, or a preference for less motion. Accessibility is treated as part of the design, not a patch on top of it.
The standard we hold
We target WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Colour pairings — including the acid accent on both ink and paper — are checked for contrast, type scales fluidly, and every interactive element has a visible focus state.
Built-in features
- A skip link, semantic landmarks and a logical heading order on every page.
- Full keyboard operation, including the cart drawer and the pinned gallery.
- Visible
:focus-visiblerings and clear, labelled form fields with inline errors. - A genuine light/dark toggle, and an aria-live region that announces cart and toast updates.
- Alt text on product imagery and aria-labels on icon-only controls.
Motion & the signature interactions
VANTA leans on motion — kinetic type, drag-to-rotate frames, a fullscreen product zoom, marquees. Every one of these respects prefers-reduced-motion and degrades to a clean, static state. The zoom viewer is fully keyboard- and touch-operable, and drag-rotate falls back automatically on touch devices.
Known limitations
The pinned horizontal gallery introduces intentional sideways movement; it is keyboard-operable and never the only path to a frame — the full catalogue is always reachable from the shop. If you hit a barrier we haven't anticipated, please tell us.
