Accessibility.

MarkOn® Walls is committed to making this site usable by the widest possible audience — including people who use assistive technologies. We design with restraint, clear typography, generous spacing, and minimal motion. Where the brand pulls in a less-accessible direction (display-scale type, hand-typeset wordmarks, atmospheric photography), we try to balance it with the standards below.

Conformance target

This site aims to conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. We are not yet formally audited by a third-party accessibility firm; we self-test continuously and welcome reports of any barrier.

What we’ve done

• Semantic structure — each page uses a single <h1> followed by a meaningful heading hierarchy, with proper <main>, <nav>, <footer>, and <section> landmarks.
• Skip link — every page begins with a “Skip to main content” link, hidden visually but revealed on keyboard focus.
• Focus indicators — a visible clay-color outline (or bone on dark surfaces) is shown on every interactive element when reached by keyboard.
• Alternative text — every image carries descriptive alt text. Decorative-only ornaments are marked aria-hidden.
• Reduced motion — the on-load plaster reveal, the hero crossfade slider, and hover-zoom effects all respect prefers-reduced-motion: reduce. Users who opt out get an instant fade and static imagery.
• Form labels — the project-inquiry form uses real <label> elements bound to each input, plus <fieldset> and <legend> for checkbox groups. Required fields are programmatically required and visually indicated.
• Color contrast — body text and primary UI meet 4.5:1; large display type meets 3:1. Where the clay accent color (#B8784F) is used for small body text on cream, we limit it to non-essential decorative emphasis.
• Plain-language copy — the writing is editorial but concrete. Where industry vocabulary is unavoidable (Tadelakt, Marmorino, lime wash), it is introduced with context.
• Keyboard navigation — the entire site can be navigated with Tab, Shift-Tab, and Enter / Space.

The Wall Visualizer

The interactive Wall Visualizer is a complex visual tool. The current implementation:

• Supports keyboard shortcuts for the most common actions — B for brush, E for eraser, [ and ] to size, Cmd/Ctrl + Z to undo.
• Provides an accessible name and description on the canvas element, and the toolbar is announced as a toolbar with labels on every control.
• Known gap: the canvas painting interaction itself requires a pointer (mouse, trackpad, stylus) and is not yet fully usable via keyboard alone. We are exploring keyboard-driven mask editing for a future release. Until then, if you need a visualization and cannot use a pointer, please write to studio@markonwalls.com with your reference photo and chosen finish — we’ll prepare a rendering for you.

Known limitations

• Desktop-first layout. The site is currently optimized for screens 1280px wide and above. Mobile and tablet layouts are in development. On small screens you may need to pinch-zoom for comfortable reading.
• Display typography at extreme sizes. A few headlines render at large display sizes (up to 280px). Browser zoom behaves normally; users who need to enlarge text further can use the OS-level text size setting.
• Pointer-only Visualizer painting. See the note above.
• No third-party widgets. We do not embed live chat, third-party ratings, or social widgets — this avoids accessibility regressions from external code, at the cost of some convenience features.

Alternatives we offer

If any part of this site is a barrier, we will offer the same information another way — by phone, by email, by a PDF specification sheet, by a printed sample box, or by an in-person studio visit by appointment. Just ask.

Feedback — we want to hear about it

If you encounter a barrier on this site, please tell us. Write to studio@markonwalls.com with:

• The page or feature where you encountered the barrier (URL or screenshot if possible).
• A short description of what happened or what you expected to happen.
• Optionally: the assistive technology, browser, or device you were using.

The studio will acknowledge your message within five business days and follow up with a plan to address the issue. If a particular barrier blocks you from getting information you need, we will provide that information another way while we fix the site.

Standards and compatibility

• Standard: WCAG 2.1 Level AA, with continued progress toward 2.2.
• Tested in current versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.
• Tested with VoiceOver (macOS / iOS) and screen-reader-friendly navigation.
• This statement was last reviewed on 21 May 2026.
