Accessibility Statement

Last updated: July 24, 2026

Meridian is a fictional brand built as a portfolio demo — but it's built to be accessible anyway. It targets the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, the standard referenced by the ADA and Section 508. Accessibility is part of the craft being demonstrated, not an afterthought.

What's been done

Color contrast. Text and interface elements meet the WCAG AA ratios, verified by an automated axe-core audit that reports zero contrast violations.
Keyboard access. Everything is reachable and operable by keyboard, with a clearly visible focus outline and a “Skip to main content” link.
Structure & landmarks. Proper nav / main / footer landmarks and a sensible heading order.
Forms. The demo newsletter field has a proper label and an announced status message.
Motion. Animations respect your system “reduce motion” setting; purely decorative artwork is hidden from screen readers.
Readable & resizable. Text can be zoomed and the layout reflows on small screens without loss of content.

Known limitations

This is a demonstration build maintained by one person; it hasn't been through a full audit with every screen reader and assistive device. If you find a barrier, it's a priority fix.
