Accessibility Policy

Last reviewed: October 7, 2026

Retro Baseball Revival wants everyone to be able to browse our teams, read our stories, and buy our gear — whether you use a mouse, a keyboard, a screen reader, or a phone held sideways. This page explains what we've done, what we're still working on, and how to reach us if something isn't working for you.

Our standard

We are working toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, across retrobaseballrevival.com. WCAG is the standard referenced by the Americans with Disabilities Act and most other accessibility laws.

We don't use an accessibility overlay or widget. Those tools sit on top of a site without fixing it, and we'd rather do the work in the site itself so it works with the tools you already use — your browser's zoom, your operating system's contrast settings, and your screen reader.

What we've done

  • Alt text on every image. Every product image describes the item, colour, view, and design. Every blog and collection image describes what is in the picture. Our process for adding new teams includes alt text as a required step so new products don't ship without it.
  • Keyboard navigation. A "Skip to content" link is the first thing you reach when you press Tab, so you can bypass the header and menus. The cart drawer and mobile menu open with your focus inside them, close with Escape, and return you to where you were.
  • Forms and controls. Size and colour selectors are labelled, so you can choose a variant and add to cart with a screen reader.
  • Site structure. Every page has one main heading and a logical heading order, including our state and league collection pages. Embedded maps have titles so you know what they are.
  • Slideshow. The home-page slideshow no longer hides the visible slide from screen readers on phones and tablets.
  • Size charts as tables. Our size charts are real tables with labelled rows and columns, not images, so measurements can be read cell by cell with a screen reader.
  • Ongoing monitoring. We run automated accessibility scans on the site and keep a dated log of what we test, what we find, and what we fix.

What we're still working on

We're honest about this because it's more useful than a compliance badge.

  • Third-party components. Parts of the site are provided by other companies and we have limited control over their accessibility: Shopify's checkout, the email sign-up popup, and product mockup images generated by our print partners. Where we can configure these, we do; where we can't, we're contacting the vendor.

Tell us if something isn't working

If you hit a page, product, or feature you can't use, we want to know. Email support@retrobaseballrevival.com with the page address and what happened, and we'll reply within two business days. If we can't fix the problem quickly, we'll help you complete your purchase or find the information another way.

We review this page at least once a year and whenever we make a significant change to the site.
