Accessibility Statement
Last updated:
EVDEV Inc. is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to our website and the Shopify Plus stores we build for clients.
01. Our commitment
As a Toronto-based agency, EVDEV follows the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (IASR). We also align our work with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Conformance Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
We believe accessibility is a shared responsibility across design, development, content, and operations — and we apply that philosophy to both our own website and the ecommerce stores we build for clients.
02. Conformance status
This website targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Conformance at Level AA means the website is designed to meet a defined set of accessibility criteria, including requirements for colour contrast, keyboard operability, semantic structure, alternative text for images, and support for assistive technologies.
We periodically audit the website using a combination of automated tooling (axe-core, Lighthouse) and manual testing with screen readers (VoiceOver, NVDA) and keyboard-only navigation. The most recent self-assessment was conducted in April 2026.
03. Accessibility features on this website
Features we have implemented to improve accessibility include:
- Semantic HTML landmarks (header, nav, main, footer) and accurate heading hierarchy.
- Descriptive alt text on meaningful images and aria-hidden treatment of decorative images.
- Visible focus indicators on all interactive elements.
- A skip-to-main-content link as the first focusable element on every page.
- Keyboard support for all interactive components, including modal menus and accordions.
- Text sized in relative units so users can zoom and reflow content.
- Form inputs labelled with associated <label> elements and error messages announced via aria-describedby.
- Respect for the prefers-reduced-motion media query to disable non-essential animations.
04. Known limitations
Despite our efforts, some parts of the website may not yet be fully accessible. Known limitations include:
- Embedded third-party videos or widgets may rely on their providers’ own accessibility implementations and may not always meet Level AA.
- Decorative background animations, while respectful of reduced-motion preferences, may introduce visual complexity for some users — please contact us if this impacts your experience.
- Some legacy case study content may contain images with shorter alt text pending a content audit.
05. Compatibility
The website is designed to be compatible with current versions of major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) on desktop and mobile, and with major screen readers including VoiceOver, NVDA, and JAWS. We do not support browsers or assistive technologies that are more than three years out of date.
06. Technical specifications
Accessibility of the website relies on the following technologies:
- HTML5 for semantic structure
- CSS3 for presentation and responsive layout
- JavaScript for progressive enhancement (with critical content available without it)
- WAI-ARIA for enhanced semantic information
07. Feedback
We welcome feedback on the accessibility of this website. If you encounter accessibility barriers or would like to request information in an alternate format, please contact us:

08. Enforcement procedure
If you are not satisfied with our response to an accessibility concern, you may contact the Accessibility Directorate of Ontario (accessibility.ontario.ca) or the Canadian Human Rights Commission (chrc-ccdp.gc.ca).
