What we enforce, and what we don't.

We hold this site to WCAG 2.2 AA. Below is what CI checks on every build, and what it doesn't. Same first-party approach as our security review and delivery record: named limits instead of a badge.

The standard

WCAG 2.2 AA, checked at build time.

An audit of the built site found five buying-path pages shipping with no page heading, no way to skip the navigation, and a menu that was quietly writing itself into the document outline. Those are fixed, and four checks now run on every build so they can't come back unnoticed.

What CI enforces

Four checks, every build.

Each one fails the build with a readable list of what it found, not a silent pass.

verify-a11y

Every page has one <h1> inside <main>. Heading levels never skip. No heading sits outside <main>, so the nav cannot reopen the outline. Each page has a working skip link. Every image has alt text. Every link and button has an accessible name. Every form control has a label. No element uses a positive tabindex. No focusable element sits inside a <summary>. The heading permalink declares a 24px floor.

verify-seo

Canonical URLs, structured data, meta descriptions, and page titles are present, correct, and unique on every route. A search engine and a screen reader both depend on the same thing here: an honest, unambiguous description of what the page is.

verify-theme

Every text-and-surface colour pairing in both themes clears 4.5:1 contrast. Every focus indicator clears 3:1. No component draws its own focus ring in a colour that skips the check.

verify-copy

Prose density and banned filler phrases. This is not a WCAG rule, but it comes from the same instinct. A screen-reader user hears every word we did not cut.

What isn't automated

What this doesn't prove.

Read this before the checklist above, not after.
