accessibility

sitrep is built to be usable by everyone, including people who rely on keyboards, screen readers, magnification, or reduced motion. this page sets out what is in place and how to flag anything that falls short.

what is in place

• semantic structure: one main landmark per page, real headings, and lists used for lists, so screen readers can navigate by structure.
• a skip link to jump straight to the content, and a visible focus ring on every interactive element.
• full keyboard operation: navigation, the mobile menu, the map, and every link and control work without a mouse.
• colour contrast meets wcag 2.1 aa for body text against the background, and the single accent is used for meaning, never as the only signal.
• motion respects your system setting: with reduced motion on, the headline wire stops, scroll reveals are disabled, and nothing auto-animates.
• images that fail to load are hidden rather than left as broken placeholders, and decorative images carry empty alt text.

known limits

the world map is an interactive, visual feature. every country it shows is also listed as plain text below the map, with the same links, so the information is fully available without using the map itself.

standard

the target is the web content accessibility guidelines 2.1 at level aa. accessibility is treated as part of the build, not a later pass.

report a barrier

if something is hard or impossible to use, that is a bug worth fixing. email benjnib09@gmail.com with the page and what got in your way, and it will be looked at promptly.
