Standard

The site targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance as a baseline. Where the visual brand requires deliberate restraint (low-light hero, muted hierarchy), we tune contrast and focus signals to remain compliant.

What's in place

Semantic HTML — proper heading order, landmarks, and lists.

Keyboard navigation — every interactive element is reachable and operable without a pointing device.

prefers-reduced-motion — all animations disable for users who request it.

Color contrast — text on background colors verified against WCAG AA thresholds.

Alt text — decorative images marked aria-hidden; meaningful images carry descriptive alt.

Custom cursor — only enabled on devices with fine pointer; touch and reduced-motion fall back to system cursor.

Known gaps

Real-content audit (post-launch with NE archive photography) and third-party audit are pending. Findings will be addressed and this page updated.
