Our Commitment to Accessibility
Our Tool Crib (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to
ensuring that OurToolCrib.com is accessible to all users, including individuals with
disabilities. We believe that every customer—regardless of ability—deserves
a dignified, independent, and equivalent experience when shopping our catalog of
77,000+ professional tools.
We strive to make our website perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for
users who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard-only
navigation, switch access devices, magnification software, and alternative input methods.
Our accessibility work is ongoing, and we treat it as a continuous part of how we build
and improve our site.
Conformance Status
Our Tool Crib targets conformance with the
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
2.1 at Level AA,
published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). WCAG defines requirements for
making web content more accessible to people with disabilities.
Our current conformance status is:
aiming to conform to
WCAG 2.1 Level AA. This means that
some parts of the website may not yet fully meet the standard, and we are actively working to identify and remediate gaps
Note regarding independent audit:
[[PLACEHOLDER: HAS A THIRD-PARTY ACCESSIBILITY AUDIT BEEN COMPLETED?
If YES: “Our website has been evaluated by [Name of Auditor] against WCAG
[Version + Level] as of [Date of Audit].”
If NO (default): “Our website has not yet undergone a formal third-party
accessibility audit. We conduct internal reviews and testing with assistive
technologies and are working toward a comprehensive independent evaluation.”]]
Ongoing Accessibility Efforts
Accessibility at Our Tool Crib is not a one-time project—it is a standing
commitment embedded in our site development and content practices. Our ongoing efforts
include:
- Regular internal reviews of new and updated pages for accessibility barriers;
- Testing with common assistive technologies, including screen readers and keyboard-only
navigation; - Training content contributors on accessible writing and image description practices;
- Working toward a formal third-party accessibility evaluation; and
- Reviewing and updating this statement as our accessibility posture evolves.
We recognize that accessibility improvement is iterative, and we are committed to making
measurable progress on a continuing basis.
