Quick Testing Steps
  1. Keyboard Navigation Test

    Unplug your mouse. Navigate the entire site using only Tab, Enter, and Arrow keys.

  2. Focus Visibility Test

    Press Tab repeatedly. A rose-colored outline should always be visible on the focused element.

  3. Form Validation Test

    Try to submit forms with empty/invalid fields. Error messages should appear with clear text.

  4. Screen Reader Test

    Enable VoiceOver (Mac) or NVDA (Windows) and navigate using screen reader commands.

  5. Zoom Test

    Zoom to 200% in your browser. All content should remain readable and functional.

Important: No Accessibility Overlays

This site does not use accessibility overlays (third-party widgets) because they:

  • Often interfere with native assistive technologies
  • Create a false sense of compliance
  • Don't fix underlying code issues
  • Can actually make accessibility worse

Instead, we've implemented native, code-level accessibility following WCAG guidelines.
