Accessibility Statement

CeleBrease, Inc. (“CeleBrease,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) believes that every customer, regardless of ability, deserves to discover, browse, and rent holiday decoration kits with ease and dignity. We work continuously to improve the accessibility of our digital experience in line with internationally recognised standards.

We have invested in ongoing accessibility auditing, user testing with assistive technology users, and a dedicated internal review process for every major product release. Accessibility is not a checkbox for us; it is a design principle embedded from the earliest stages of each feature.

This statement applies to our main website at celebrease.com and all pages served under that domain, including the customer account portal and catalog.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), define requirements for making web content accessible to people with disabilities. We target Level AA compliance across the four principles: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust.

Our last comprehensive third party audit was completed in March 2026. We conduct internal automated scans with axe-core on every deployment.

The following features are built into the CeleBrease website to support a wide range of users and assistive technologies:

Navigation & structure

• A visible skip to main content link appears at the top of every page when keyboard focus arrives, allowing keyboard and screen reader users to bypass repetitive navigation.
• Consistent landmark regions (nav, main, aside, footer) on all pages so screen reader users can jump directly to any section.
• Logical heading hierarchy (h1 → h2 → h3) maintained throughout to provide a clear document outline.
• Breadcrumb navigation with proper ARIA labels on all interior pages.

Images & media

• All meaningful images carry descriptive alt text matched to their context. Decorative images use empty alt="" so screen readers skip them.
• Holiday kit photography is described in accompanying card text, ensuring product information is not conveyed by images alone.
• No auto playing video or audio is present anywhere on the site.

Keyboard & focus

• All interactive elements, links, buttons, form fields, dropdowns, and modal dialogs, are fully operable using a keyboard alone.
• Visible focus indicators with a minimum 3:1 contrast ratio are present on all focusable elements; we use custom focus rings styled with the brand gradient rather than the browser default where needed.
• The mobile navigation drawer traps focus while open and returns focus to the trigger button when closed.
• The checkout flow and account forms support full tab order and Enter/Space activation.

Colour & contrast

• Body text meets a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 against its background (WCAG 1.4.3 AA).
• Large text and UI components meet the 3:1 ratio requirement (WCAG 1.4.11).
• Information is never conveyed by colour alone, status badges use both colour and text labels.

Forms & error handling

• Every form input has an explicit, visible <label> element, no placeholder only labelling.
• Required fields are marked both visually and programmatically with aria-required="true".
• Inline error messages are associated with their fields via aria-describedby and are announced immediately to screen readers using aria-live regions.
• The checkout summary page provides a clear review step before any payment is submitted.

Reduced motion

• All animations and transitions respect the prefers-reduced-motion media query. Users with vestibular disorders or motion sensitivity will see static transitions instead of kinetic effects.

Despite our best efforts, some areas of the website have known accessibility gaps we are actively working to resolve. We document them transparently here, along with workarounds where they exist:

• In progress
  Stripe payment iframe: The embedded Stripe Checkout frame is a third party component. Some screen readers may announce card field labels inconsistently. Workaround: Stripe's hosted payment page at checkout is fully accessible and will be offered as an alternative by contacting support.
• In progress
  Kit image carousel on mobile: The scrollable kit card row on the catalog page does not yet expose full ARIA carousel semantics. Keyboard users can still scroll the row using arrow keys after focusing the first card; however, a dedicated previous/next button control will be added in Q3 2026.
• Planned Q3 2026
  PDF rental agreement: The downloadable rental agreement PDF has not yet been tagged for screen reader accessibility. A fully accessible HTML version of the agreement is available on the Terms page.
• Monitoring
  Toast notifications: Transient toast messages (e.g., “Added to cart”) are announced via an ARIA live region; however, on some versions of JAWS with Firefox the announcement may be delayed by up to 2 seconds. We are tracking this upstream.

CeleBrease is designed to be compatible with the following browsers and assistive technologies. We test against these combinations before every major release:

We recommend using the latest version of your preferred browser and assistive technology for the best experience. Internet Explorer is not supported.

Technical approach

CeleBrease is built with Next.js and React, using semantic HTML5 elements, ARIA attributes applied conservatively and correctly, and no JavaScript-dependent content that cannot be perceived by assistive technologies. Our style sheet respects user agent font sizing and zoom up to 400% without loss of content or functionality.
