What has actually been tested

Not aspirations — things that were measured on this site:

• Colour contrast.Every text and background pair was calculated against the WCAG formula. The lowest ratio on the site is 4.8 to 1 against a 4.5 requirement; body text is 17.5 to 1, which is Level AAA.
• Headings.One h1 per page and no skipped levels, so the page can be navigated by heading with a screen reader.
• Landmarks and a skip link.Real header, nav, main and footer elements, and a skip-to-content link as the first thing in the tab order.
• Keyboard.Everything is reachable by keyboard and focus is visible — a three-pixel outline with an offset, never removed.
• Zoom and reflow.No maximum-scale lock, so pinch zoom works, and the layout reflows to a single column rather than scrolling sideways.
• Reduced motion.Smooth scrolling and transitions switch off for anyone whose system asks for reduced motion.
• Non-text content.The example number is exposed to assistive technology digit by digit, so it is read as a number rather than run together.

Known limits

This has been tested by calculation and by code review, not yet with real screen-reader users. That testing will happen before the product launches, and it counts for more than any audit. If your experience differs from what is claimed above, the claim is wrong and we want to know.
