1 · Our commitment
Closet Remix exists to help people get more from the clothes they already own. That is no use to anyone who cannot read the screen, reach the buttons, or hear what the app is telling them — so accessibility is not a feature we intend to add later. It is part of whether the thing works at all.
We are a community interest company with a very small team. We would rather tell you plainly where we are than claim a standard we have not independently tested against.
2 · What we aim for
We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA across this website and the app. That is the target we design and build to, and the one we check our own work against.
We have not had either the site or the app formally audited by an independent accessibility specialist, and we are not claiming conformance. When that audit happens, we will say so here and publish what it found — including the parts that failed.
3 · What we have done
- Colour and contrast — body text is checked against its background for at least 4.5:1 contrast, and large headings for at least 3:1. Colour is never the only way information is conveyed.
- Keyboard — every link, button, form field and expandable section on this site can be reached and operated with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus outline.
- Screen readers — pages use real headings in order, meaningful link text, labelled form fields, and alt text that describes what an image shows rather than repeating the caption.
- Motion — the growing-plant animations, count-ups and scroll reveals all respect
prefers-reduced-motion. Turn motion down in your device settings and the site renders calmly and completely. - Text size — type is set in relative units and reflows to 320px width, so zooming to 200% does not cut anything off.
- Data and diagrams — figures and comparisons are written as real text rather than baked into images, so they can be zoomed, selected, read aloud and translated.
- In the app — Closet Remix supports Dynamic Type on iOS and font scaling on Android, so the app follows the text size you have already chosen for your device.
4 · What still needs work
Known issues, honestly listed. We would rather you knew than discovered them:
- Colour analysis depends on seeing colour. The colour quiz and your palette are visual by nature. Every swatch carries its name and hex value as text, but we do not yet have a non-visual route through the quiz itself.
- The Remix Studio is drag-and-drop. Building a flat-lay currently needs a touch or pointer gesture. A keyboard and switch-accessible route is something we want to add.
- Some app screenshots on this site are decorative and carry short alt text. Where a screenshot is the only place a piece of information appears, we describe it in the surrounding copy.
- Our PDF guides are designed for printing and have not been tagged for screen readers. If you would like one as plain text or HTML, ask and we will send it.
If something here is out of date because we have fixed it, that is good news badly reported — please tell us.
5 · Our events
We run free clothes swaps and repair sessions in Doncaster. Venue access varies, so each listing names the venue and we are happy to answer specifics before you book — step-free access, seating, quiet times, whether you can bring a support worker or assistance dog, and what to expect when you arrive.
Email us before the date and we will tell you honestly what the space is like. If a venue will not work for you, tell us — it affects where we book next.
6 · Tell us about a problem
If any part of this site or the app is difficult or impossible for you to use, we want to hear about it. You do not need to know the technical reason, and there is no wrong way to describe it.
Email hello@closetremix.co.uk. It helps if you can tell us the page or screen, what you were trying to do, and what happened instead — plus any assistive technology you use, if you are comfortable sharing that.
A real person reads every message. We aim to reply within five working days, and we will tell you what we can fix quickly and what will take longer. You can also use the support page for anything else.
