There are times when the continued lack of accessibility in basic tasks gets old. Today I wanted to see if my local Staples store carried a product so conducted a product search. Between all the instances of “icon”and “product tile large” on the resulting page, I have absolutely no idea if the product I was searching for is actually available.
I could write all about web accessibility standards or why it is important to make your web site accessible. I could also write a detailed analysis of what is wrong on the web site. Instead I’ll just say, it is disappointing that near the end of 2018, a product search on a major retail company’s web site still leads to every product reading”product tile large” with multiple screen readers.
Staples does have an accessibility policy of sorts.
