Accessibility & design promise

Built against WCAG 2.2 AA with visible focus, keyboard-first navigation, and preferences for contrast, motion, and typography. Try the controls at the top to see how the interface adapts.

  • Skip links, logical tab order, and 44 px minimum targets.
  • Reduced motion removes parallax and large transforms.
  • Preferences are saved locally so returning visitors keep their setup.
