Accessibility

Some people hear this site through a screen reader. Some move through it with a keyboard. Some ask their device for less motion. We want Mere to feel calm and clear for each of them.

Our standard

This statement covers the Mere website. We build it toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 at Level AA, the W3C's standard for accessible web content (W3C, 2023). That is the bar we hold ourselves to. Meeting it is ongoing work, not a box we have already ticked.

What the site does today

• Motion, on your terms. If your device is set to reduce motion, the scroll-driven scenes hold still and each one becomes a quiet, readable page. Nothing pins, spins or slides.
• A keyboard is enough. Links, buttons and the sign-up form work from the keyboard, and each shows a clear outline when it has focus. A skip link goes straight to the main content. Windows that open over the page keep focus inside them and close with the Escape key.
• Words for pictures. Meaningful images carry a short written description for screen readers. Decorative images are marked so screen readers skip them.
• The ring, three ways. The 3D ring viewer comes with a product-photo tab and a written description of the ring. You can change the view with buttons instead of dragging. If 3D can't load, a described image takes its place.
• App screens, described. Each app screen on the site carries a written description of what it shows, and in the app tour a visible caption as well, so the story still reads without the picture.
• Clear structure. Pages use real headings, labelled sections and a labelled email field, so assistive technology can find its way around.
• Contrast. We aim for text contrast of at least 4.5 to 1 against its background, and 3 to 1 for large text. That is what WCAG 2.2 asks for at Level AA.

Where it falls short

Some parts of the site are mainly visual: the scroll-driven scenes, the moving pulse line and the 3D ring viewer. They are there to show, not to carry information on their own. What they show is also on the page as text, and the ring viewer always has a product photograph one tab away from the model.

Two small animations, the live reading beside the ring and the pulse line, keep moving while they are on screen. There is no pause button yet. Setting your device to reduce motion stops them.

A few small labels in our softer tones fall below the contrast we aim for. We are raising them.

Mere has not launched yet, and the site changes often. A new page can bring a new gap. If you run into one, we would like to hear about it.

Tell us

If something here is hard to use, or you would like information in another form, write to info@merering.com with “Accessibility” in the subject. Tell us the page and what you were trying to do. If you are comfortable sharing it, tell us the device, browser or assistive technology you use too. You never need to tell us about a disability or health condition. We will reply as soon as we can.

If the founding-list form gives you trouble, say so in your message and tell us you would like Mere launch updates. We will add your email to the founding list ourselves.

We use your message only to reply and to fix what you found.
