Accessibility Statement
Effective date: November 3, 2026
Last reviewed: November 3, 2026
Slimmies wants everyone who uses slimmies.us to be able to read it, move through it and reach us. This site is operated by Carp Red Barn, Inc., a California corporation ("Slimmies," "we," "us"). This statement explains the standard we work toward, how the site is built to support it, and how to tell us about a problem.
Our standard
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. We test the site's pages with automated accessibility tools when the site changes, and we fix what we find. Automated tools cannot catch every problem, so we also want to hear from you.
How the site is built
- Text and background colors are chosen to meet the WCAG AA contrast ratios.
- The site is designed to be used with a keyboard alone, and a "skip to content" link at the top of each page jumps past the navigation. The age question, the menus, the product shelf and the record sleeves on Tunes all work from the keyboard.
- Photographs carry text descriptions, and pages use headings in order so screen readers can move through them.
- The forms label their fields, mark the optional ones and say what went wrong next to the field.
- Motion. Some things on the site move: a line that draws as you scroll the homepage, packs that settle onto the shelf and color that fills behind them, text that fades in, a record that turns and a tonearm that swings on Tunes, and a hanger that sways on the merch page. If your device is set to reduce motion, the site shows them still. You can also turn motion off with the switch in the footer, and the site remembers that choice in your browser.
Known limits
Some parts of the site may still fall short of the standard, and we fix them as we find them. Two parts are run by other companies and follow their own accessibility practices: the store locator on Find Us (StoreRocket) and the playlist player on Tunes (Spotify). Each playlist also has a plain link that opens it in Spotify.
