01Motion is optional
If your system is set to reduce motion, the site honours it. Scroll animations do not run, the homepage opens on its finished state instead of building, and nothing loops or pulses. The setting is respected everywhere, not just on the pages where motion is obvious.
02Everything works from the keyboard
Every link, button, form field, tab and switch can be reached and operated with a keyboard alone, in an order that follows the page. The focus outline is always visible, in bronze against the dark ground. A skip link jumps straight to the main content before the navigation.
03Text contrast is measured, not guessed
The colour pairings were checked with a contrast calculator rather than by eye. Body text measures 16 to 1 against the page, secondary text 7.8 to 1, and the lowest pairing anywhere on the site is 5.5 to 1, against the 4.5 to 1 the standard asks for. Colour is never the only way something is marked.
04Structure a screen reader can follow
One main heading per page and headings in order beneath it. Form fields have real labels, not placeholder text standing in for them. Images that carry meaning have alt text; images that are decoration are marked as decoration so they are skipped rather than announced.
