WCAG 2.1 Level AA as a development target

The site has been built with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA in mind from its initial architecture.

Semantic HTML and logical heading hierarchy.
Skip-to-main-content link.
Keyboard-operable navigation.
Visible focus indicator.
Enhanced contrast in the header, buttons and content.
Real HTML text for essential information; logos do not replace textual content.
Responsive design for mobile devices.
Color is not used as the sole means of conveying information.
Static galleries with no autoplay.
Informative images with alternative text.
Maps with accessible titles and complementary textual information.
Respects the system preference for reduced motion.

Formal WCAG 2.1 AA conformance must be confirmed through automated auditing and manual review of keyboard access, contrast, zoom, reflow and assistive technologies.
