Accessibility (ADA) Policy

Moda Material is dedicated to providing an inclusive online experience for all visitors. As a resource focused on fabric expertise, textiles, and clothing materials, we continually refine our site so that information like fiber content, care guidance, and fabric imagery is accessible and understandable to every user.

Our Commitment

We aim to make our website usable by the widest possible audience, regardless of technology, device, or ability. This includes presenting fabric images with meaningful alternative text, ensuring sufficient color contrast for swatches and charts, supporting keyboard navigation, and writing clear descriptions for material properties, measurements, and care instructions.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) provide a framework for improving digital accessibility and define three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

Moda Material is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. “Partially conformant” means some content may not yet fully meet the standard. We are actively reviewing, remediating, and enhancing features to improve our level of conformance.

Measures to Support Accessibility

Moda Material takes the following actions to promote accessibility:

  • Embedding accessibility in our workflow: Accessibility considerations are part of design, content creation, development, and ongoing maintenance.
  • Quality assurance and testing: We use a mix of automated tools and manual reviews (including keyboard-only checks and screen reader spot testing) to identify and address barriers.
  • Team training: Our team receives continuing guidance on creating accessible content, such as alt text for fabric photos, descriptive link text, and readable tables for measurements.
  • Defined ownership: Designated team members oversee accessibility initiatives, set priorities, and monitor progress.
  • Content standards for textiles: We strive to provide clear product attributes (fiber composition, weight, width, stretch, and care) in text, and to caption or transcript educational videos where feasible.

Technical Specifications

The accessibility of the Moda Material website relies on the following technologies to function with users’ browsers and assistive tools:

  • HTML

These technologies support the accessibility techniques we apply across the site.

Compatibility with Browsers and Assistive Technology

The site is designed to work with commonly used assistive technologies and interaction modes, including:

Limitations and Alternatives

While we work hard to ensure accessibility across Moda Material, some limitations may occur. Please contact us if you encounter an issue. Known or potential limitations and steps we take include:

  • Third‑party content and services: Certain features (e.g., embedded videos, maps, payment processors, or social feeds) are provided by external vendors. We do not control their code and cannot guarantee full accessibility, but we seek accessible integrations and share feedback with providers when issues arise.
  • Vendor or archived documents: Some older PDFs or scanned materials may lack text alternatives. On request, we will strive to provide information in a more accessible format.
  • Color and fabric rendering: Due to device and display variability, swatch colors and textures may appear differently. We provide descriptive text, color names, and material details to supplement images and can assist with additional information upon request.
  • Ongoing improvements: Remediation is continuous. If you face a barrier anywhere on our site, please contact us so we can help and prioritize a fix.
