Accessibility

Each of these is a specific repair to a specific failure rather than a general assertion, which is the only form in which this section is worth reading.

• Bypass blocks. Every marketing page put eleven navigation and footer links ahead of the content with no way past them on a keyboard. A skip link is now the first thing the Tab key reaches, and its target takes focus rather than merely scrolling.
• Visible focus. A focus ring is applied globally and marked so that a utility class removing outlines cannot cancel it, which it previously did on every input on the site.
• Target size. Navigation links were nineteen pixels tall on a site whose traffic is mostly phones. Interactive controls are now held to a forty-four pixel floor on touch devices.
• Reachability on a phone. The whole navigation used to be hidden below 768 pixels with no replacement, which made several pages unreachable on a phone. There is a mobile navigation now.
• Reduced motion. Every animation and transition is disabled when the operating system asks for reduced motion, and the loading placeholders stop pulsing rather than merely slowing down.
• Page changes announced. Client-side routing changes the page without a screen reader noticing. A polite live region announces the new page title on every route change, reading the title rather than a second list of names that could disagree with it.
• Text contrast. The interface is near-black by design. The three text colours used on it have been checked by calculation against the 4.5:1 threshold and clear it, the lowest being the muted grey used for labels at about 6:1.
• Structure. Headings are real headings, tables are real tables with header cells, and this legal set is numbered and anchored so a clause can be reached directly rather than by scrolling.

• The editor canvas. Composing a slide means positioning and resizing elements by pointer. Keyboard equivalents exist for some of it and are not complete, and the canvas has not been assessed against a screen reader. If composing artwork by keyboard alone is a requirement for you, treat this as not working today and tell us — it changes what gets built next.
• Exported PDFs contain no text. Each page is a rendered image of the slide, so the text in an exported PDF cannot be selected, searched, resized or read aloud. This is a property of how the artwork is produced and it is a real limitation for anyone who receives an exported deck. The governance record exports as JSON, which is fully accessible, and slide copy can be copied out of the editor before export.
• Images inside a slide carry no alternative text. They are treated as part of a picture the user is composing rather than as content, and the product does not yet ask for a description or carry one into an export.
• Not assessed. The account, admin and review surfaces have not been reviewed against the guidelines. Neither has the product at 400% zoom, nor with Windows high contrast mode, nor with voice control.
• No audit, no user testing, no VPAT. None of the three has been commissioned. If your procurement requires a VPAT or an EN 301 549 conformance report, we do not have one and will not produce a self-certified one to satisfy a form.

No part of the product is exempt from this statement on the grounds of disproportionate burden. The items above are unfinished work, not exclusions.
