Accessibility statement
This site is itself a reference on WCAG 2.1 AA conformance. Holding it to that standard is non-negotiable.
Conformance target
wcag21aa.org targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance across all published pages. We treat this target as non-negotiable: a reference site on WCAG that fails its own standard is a credibility failure, not a minor flaw.
Testing methodology
Each published page is verified against the following before going live:
- Automated checks with axe-core (zero violations target)
- Keyboard-only navigation pass: Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Escape, Arrow keys
- Screen reader pass on at least one page per phase (NVDA on Windows or VoiceOver on macOS)
- Color contrast verification: 4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text
- Heading hierarchy review (no skipped levels)
- Focus indicator visibility on every interactive element
- Skip-to-content link present and reachable on first Tab
langattribute set on the document root- Meaningful alt text on every image; empty alt on decorative images
Build-time and ongoing reviews are documented in the site repository.
