  • Minimum 44px touch targets
  • Readable fonts and sizing
  • Reduced motion support
  • Clear error messages
  • Consistent navigation patterns

Core Accessibility Features

We implement these essential features in every website we build:

🔗 Skip Links

Allow keyboard and screen reader users to jump past repetitive navigation directly to main content. Essential for efficient navigation.

🎯 Focus Management

Clear visual indicators show exactly where users are on the page. Enhanced focus states with color and animation make navigation obvious.

📝 Form Accessibility

Proper labels, ARIA descriptions, validation messages, and error handling. All forms work seamlessly with assistive technologies.

🔊 Screen Reader Support

Semantic HTML and ARIA labels ensure screen readers can properly announce all content and interactive elements.

Color Contrast

WCAG 2.1 compliant color combinations ensure text is readable for everyone.

AAA ✓

Excellent Contrast

Easy to read for everyone

7.2:1 ratio
AA ✓

Good Contrast

Meets WCAG standards

4.8:1 ratio
✗ Fail

Below Standard

Below acceptable contrast

3.2:1 ratio

The third example fails WCAG AA standards. Lower ratios become increasingly difficult to read and should be avoided.

Respecting Reduced Motion

Our animations respect user motion preferences for accessibility and comfort.

Interactive Demo

Users with vestibular disorders or motion sensitivity can set their system to prefer reduced motion. Our sites automatically respect this preference.

Try it: Check the box above to see how animations are disabled for users who prefer reduced motion.
