Storefront ​

This section walks through what shoppers see and do in a Lynx store. Everything here works out of the box with the default design; the components section explains how to adjust each part.

Works on every screen ​

Every page is designed for phones, tablets and desktops. On phones the menu opens from a button, filters slide in from the side, and the account menu becomes a dropdown.

Keyboard and screen readers ​

The storefront can be used without a mouse and with a screen reader:

  • A Skip to Content link, the first thing the Tab key reaches, jumps past the header to the page content.
  • When a shopper opens another page, focus moves to the new page's content instead of staying on the link that was followed.
  • The submenus of the main menu and the account menu open with the keyboard, and Escape closes them and returns to the button that opened them.
  • Tabs, such as the product page tabs, move with the arrow keys, Home and End.
  • Filter groups, menus and panels tell screen readers whether they are open or closed, and icon buttons, such as Close, have a name that is read out.
  • In the checkout, moving to the next step takes focus to that step's heading.

Languages and currencies ​

Text shown to shoppers uses Magento's own translations, so a store view in another language is translated with the language packs you already use. Prices follow the currency the shopper picks.

Right-to-left languages such as Arabic, Hebrew and Persian are fully supported. The whole storefront mirrors automatically for those store views, using the same design. See Right-to-left Languages.
