Accessibility
Built to WCAG 2.2 AA, not bolted on with a widget.
Accessibility overlays are widely criticized, and rightly. This site is built to meet the standard in the markup itself.
What that means here
- Every interactive element is reachable and operable with a keyboard, and shows a visible focus ring when you get there.
- Text meets the contrast ratios the standard requires, on both the light and the dark sections.
- Images that carry meaning have text alternatives. Images that are decoration are hidden from screen readers rather than described pointlessly.
- Headings are ordered properly, so a screen reader can navigate the page by structure.
- Form fields have real labels, and errors are announced in text rather than only shown as a color.
- Every animation on the site stops if your system is set to reduce motion. The qualifier, the counters, the reveals and the sliders all respect that setting.
The qualifier specifically
The multi-step qualifier is operable with a keyboard, its options are exposed as radio controls, and its progress is announced in text as well as shown as a bar. It never changes height between steps, so the page does not move under a pointer or a magnifier.
If something does not work
