At Five Below, we believe that everyone deserves to enjoy our trendy, fun, and affordable finds—whether shopping online at fivebelowdeals.com or in our stores. We are committed to making our website and services accessible to all users, including those with disabilities, and strive to meet recognized accessibility standards to ensure an inclusive shopping experience for everyone.
Our Accessibility Commitment
We embrace the principle that accessibility is an ongoing journey. Our team works diligently to design and maintain fivebelowdeals.com in a way that is usable by people with a wide range of abilities, including visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities. We aim to create an experience where every user can easily browse our $1-$5 treasures and exclusive picks above $5, place orders, track shipments, and access customer support without barriers.
Accessibility Standards We Follow
To guide our accessibility efforts, we reference the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA—an internationally recognized set of standards developed to make web content more accessible. These guidelines cover key areas such as:
-
Perceivability: Ensuring content is available to the senses (e.g., providing text alternatives for images, captions for videos, and readable text with sufficient color contrast).
-
Operability: Making navigation and interaction intuitive (e.g., supporting keyboard navigation, allowing enough time for users to read content, and providing clear navigation paths).
-
Understandability: Keeping content and interface consistent and predictable (e.g., using clear language, avoiding jargon, and providing feedback for user actions like order submissions).
-
Robustness: Ensuring compatibility with assistive technologies (e.g., screen readers, magnifiers, and alternative input devices) commonly used by people with disabilities.
Accessibility Features on Our Website
We have implemented a range of features to enhance accessibility on fivebelowdeals.com, including but not limited to:
-
Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements (product links, checkout buttons, search bars, and menu items) can be accessed and operated using a standard keyboard, no mouse required.
-
Screen Reader Compatibility: Website content is structured with proper HTML tags (headings, lists, and alt text) to ensure compatibility with popular screen readers like JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver.
-
Text Customization: Users can adjust text size through browser settings without losing content or functionality, making it easier to read product descriptions and policy details.
-
Color Contrast: We maintain sufficient contrast between text and background colors to ensure readability, including for users with color vision deficiencies.
-
Clear Navigation: Our website uses consistent menus, breadcrumbs, and descriptive link text to help users find what they need—whether browsing $1 toys, trendy accessories, or tracking an order (processed in 1-3 days, delivered in 6-12 days).
-
Accessible Forms: Checkout forms and account registration fields include clear labels and error messages, making it easy to complete purchases or manage accounts.
