How the site is designed

Accessibility is part of the site's structure and visual design. The implementation uses:

  • Page landmarks, descriptive headings, and a skip-to-content link.
  • Keyboard navigation and visible focus indicators.
  • Responsive layouts and text that can be enlarged.
  • Labels for inquiry fields and meaningful link text.
  • Reduced-motion preferences for optional visual movement.
  • Text alternatives for meaningful visual information.
  • A light and dark appearance choice available in the header.

Optional entrance animations respect your device's reduced-motion setting, including changes made while a page is open. Content remains visible without animation, and interacting with a card settles its animation immediately.

Headings and small accent lines appear gently as you reach them. In supporting browsers, a thin line at the top of the page shows how far you have scrolled. These effects respect reduced motion; the progress line is hidden when that setting is enabled. Buttons, navigation, and form fields stay in place.

Opening sections have a slowly moving background. Use “Pause motion” at the bottom of the section to stop it, or “Resume motion” to restart it. Your choice stays in effect as you browse until you reload the website. With reduced motion enabled, the background stays still automatically.

Choose an appearance that works for you

The website initially follows your device's light or dark preference. The theme button in the header switches between the two and describes the next action in its accessible label. Your choice is remembered in this browser when local storage is available. The button works with a keyboard as well as a pointer.

Theme preferences are separate from inquiry details. The privacy notice explains what is saved and how to clear it.

Resources in a simple format

The guides and project-brief prompts are available as web pages. You do not need to create an account or complete a signup to read them or download a brief.

The Contact page displays the project prompts and contact-detail fields with HTML labels. You can read the prompts without JavaScript and use them in an editor of your choice. Online submission requires JavaScript and is available only when inquiry delivery is enabled.

You can also download the blank PDF worksheet to annotate in a PDF reader or print and complete by hand. The worksheet has writing space rather than interactive form fields. If a PDF is difficult to use with your assistive technology, the web prompts remain available as an alternative.

If something gets in the way

The Contact page shows the currently available contact options. If a direct email link is shown, you can use it to report a difficulty. Include the page address, what you were trying to do, and any browser or assistive-technology details you are comfortable sharing.

These design features describe our approach; they are not a claim of independent certification or a formal conformance rating. Different browser and assistive-technology combinations may behave differently.
