Our Commitment
Watch the Car is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to people with disabilities. We believe everyone should be able to browse our products, place orders, and engage with our content — regardless of ability or the technology they use.
This accessibility statement applies to watchthecar.com and all associated subdomains and pages.
Standards & Compliance
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines define how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.
We regularly review our site against these standards and work to address any issues identified. As our site is built on Shopify, we also benefit from the platform's ongoing accessibility improvements.

Our website includes the following accessibility features:
- Semantic HTML structure with proper heading hierarchy
- Alt text for all product images and visual content

- Sufficient colour contrast ratios for text and interactive elements
- Responsive design that works across screen sizes and devices
- Focus indicators for keyboard users

Known Issues
We're aware that some areas of our site may not yet fully meet all WCAG 2.1 Level AA criteria. Known issues include:
- Some third-party embedded content (e.g., reviews, social media feeds) may not be fully accessible
