Awetism Apparel is built by and for a neurodiverse community, and we believe the web should be usable by everyone — including people with autism, sensory sensitivities, cognitive differences, and visual, hearing, or motor disabilities. We are committed to making awetismapparel.com accessible, inclusive, and easy to use for all of our customers.
Our Commitment
We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of ability or technology. We continually work to improve the experience for everyone and to apply the relevant accessibility standards.
Inclusion and acceptance are at the heart of everything we do. Making our store welcoming to neurodiverse and disabled shoppers is a natural extension of that promise.
Standards We Follow
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These internationally recognized guidelines help make web content more perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for people with a wide range of disabilities.
What We Have Done
- Clear, readable typography with strong color contrast for body text and buttons.
- Keyboard-navigable menus, forms, and checkout so the site can be used without a mouse.
- Descriptive alternative text on meaningful images and product photos.
- Labeled form fields and helpful error messages throughout cart and checkout.
- A calm, low-clutter layout that avoids auto-playing audio and unexpected flashing content.
- Responsive design that works on phones, tablets, and desktops at different zoom levels.
- Angela, our on-site assistant, available on every page for plain-language help and order lookups.
Sensory-Friendly Design
Because many of our customers are autistic or sensory-sensitive, we intentionally avoid harsh animations, sudden sounds, and overwhelming pop-ups. We use gentle motion, generous spacing, and predictable navigation to keep the experience comfortable.
Compatibility
Our website is designed to work with current versions of major browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari) and to be compatible with common assistive technologies such as screen readers and screen magnifiers. We recommend keeping your browser and assistive software up to date for the best experience.
Ongoing Effort
Accessibility is an ongoing process, not a one-time project. We regularly review new pages and features, test with real-world tools, and make improvements over time. Some older or third-party content may not yet be fully accessible, and we are actively working to address it.

If you experience any difficulty using our website, or if you need information in a different format, please reach out. Let us know the page, what you were trying to do, and the device or assistive technology you were using so we can help quickly and fix the issue.
