Accessibility

♿ Our commitment

BirthdayCard.online treats WCAG 2.1 Level AA as a practical design and remediation baseline for the public site. We continuously fix barriers we find (and that you report). This page documents that effort.

Important: This statement is not a claim that the site is "ADA compliant," "fully accessible," or protected from legal claims. Automated checks and overlays alone are not enough; we combine code fixes, manual review, and your feedback.

✅ What we have in place

• Language set on pages (lang="en")
• Landmarks: site header, main content (#main-content), footer navigation
• Skip to main content link for keyboard users
• Visible keyboard focus styles (configurable in Admin Settings)
• Contrast boost for muted/placeholder text, enlarged touch targets (≥44px), and zoom-friendly viewport (no user-scalable=no) with reflow helpers
• Main menu: Escape to close, focus restore, basic focus trap
• Login and other critical forms: persistent labels, required indication, error association and announcements
• Social links named for assistive technology (including new-window note)

🛠️ Known gaps we are working on

Accessibility is ongoing. Remaining work is tracked in remediation tasks covering heading consistency across every template, dynamic announcements in card-viewer flows, and deeper audits of third-party embeds.

If something blocks you today, please tell us — we prioritize consequential barriers (cannot log in, cannot create or open a card, cannot contact us).
