Everyone gets the same page.

What we have done

• It works without JavaScript. Every word, the full capability list and the form are in the document itself. Script only adds motion and interactivity.
• It works without a mouse. A skip link comes first. The chapter rail and the day timeline are operated with arrow keys, Home and End, and both have visible previous and next buttons.
• Focus is always visible and never trapped underneath the floating navigation.
• Nothing depends on motion. With prefers-reduced-motion the animation stops, the timeline stops advancing by itself, and every state still changes.
• Nothing depends on colour or on hover alone.
• Contrast is measured, not assumed. Body text runs at 18.4:1, secondary text at 10:1 and the quietest labels at 5.3:1 against the field.
• It reflows at 320 pixels and at 200% zoom without losing any action.
• The film is silent and carries no audio track. It never autoplays sound, because there is none to play.
• Targets are at least 44 by 44 pixels.
• Form errors are specific, attached to the field they belong to, and never lose what you typed.

How we test

Automated checks run against the live build on every change: keyboard operation, focus visibility, reflow at 320 pixels, contrast ratios calculated against the actual background, behaviour with JavaScript disabled and behaviour with reduced motion. All of them currently pass.

What we have not yet done: manual testing with NVDA, JAWS and VoiceOver, and testing with people who use assistive technology every day. Automated checks are not a substitute for either. Both must happen before this site is public, and if they find failures we will name them on this page rather than quietly fix the easy ones.

Known limitations

• The film has no captions or transcript. It carries no speech and no audio, and every word in it also appears as text on the page, but a transcript is on the list.
• The homepage is long. The navigation offers direct links to each part, and headings are structured so a screen reader can jump between them.
