What has been measured on this site, what passed, and what is still failing. There is no conformance claim here that was not checked.
01
Measured 27 August 2026, on the draft.
Tiles NYC is being built to WCAG 2.2 level AA. A directory whose whole point is narrowing a list has to be operable from a keyboard and has to say out loud how many results are left, so that target is the floor rather than the ambition.
Aiming at a standard is not the same as meeting it. The table below separates the two: what was measured and passed, what was measured and failed, and what nobody has tested.
02
Two rows fail. They are in the table with the rest, not in a footnote.
| Requirement | How it was checked | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|
| Contrast of text (1.4.3) | Every ink in the palette carries its measured ratio where it is declared. | Meets AA. Body text is 13.65:1 on the page ground and 12.54:1 on the heavier one. The palest ink allowed to carry a word is 5.00:1. |
| Automated rule sweep | axe-core 4.12.1 in Chromium, against the WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 A and AA rule sets. | No violations on this page or the two beside it. |
| Structure and landmarks (1.3.1, 2.4.1) | Checked in the served HTML: one h1, a skip link and a main landmark per page. | Meets AA on all three back-matter pages. |
| Reflow (1.4.10) | Page width measured against viewport width at 320, 375, 992, 1280 and 1440. | No sideways scrolling at any of the five. |
| Labels and required fields (1.3.1, 3.3.2) | Every control on the contact form has a visible label, and the required fields carry the attribute in the HTML rather than only in a script. | Meets AA, and it still validates with JavaScript switched off. |
| Images (1.1.1) | Every image on the site describes the material it shows. | Meets AA. No image is captioned as a named store, because none of them is one. |
| Reduced motion (2.3.3) | Movement is neutralised effect by effect rather than by one global rule that also kills colour feedback. | Honoured. These three pages carry no motion of their own. |
| Target size, minimum (2.5.8) | Every link and button measured at 375 pixels wide. | Meets AA. Measured at 375 and 1440: navigation links 85 by 26, footer link columns 160 by 32, the footer contact action 212 by 44, the wordmark 99 by 24, the skip link 195 by 44. Nothing outside a sentence is under 24 by 24 on any of ten page types. Links inside a sentence are exempt under 2.5.8 and are not counted as passing. |
| Visible focus (2.4.7) | A 2px focus ring in the darkest ink is declared once, for everything focusable. | Declared and rendering. Not yet walked through by a person on a keyboard. |
| Screen reader behaviour | Not tested. | Unknown. No person has run this site with a screen reader, and an automated sweep finds a minority of real barriers. |
| Error page | Checked by requesting an address that does not exist. | DOES NOT MEET what it should. There is no 404 page yet, so a mistyped address lands on the host default with no way back into the site. |
03
No audit, no screen reader, no keyboard walkthrough.
No person has used this site with a screen reader, a screen magnifier, voice control or a switch device. No independent audit has been carried out and none is scheduled, so there is no audit date to publish here.
The checks that have run are automated, and automated checks find a minority of the barriers a real visitor hits. Reading order, whether a label actually describes its field, and whether an announcement arrives at a useful moment are all things a script cannot judge. Treat the passes above as a floor rather than as a verdict.
04
One channel, and it takes a report about this page too.
The contact page is the only channel this site has. Tiles NYC publishes no phone number and no postal address, so that form is the whole of it. Pick "Something else" and say what did not work, on which page, and in which browser.
Nothing on this page promises how fast a reply comes, because nobody has committed to a number.
What the directory is and how a showroom gets into it is on the about page.
