Accessibility and Inclusive Use

Review the theme accessibility target, implemented practices, known verification boundaries, alternative-format support, and how to report an accessibility barrier.

Accessibility target

WCAG 2.1 AA practices are a delivery target, not a certification claim.

The public theme is designed around semantic HTML, keyboard access, visible focus, responsive reflow, labeled forms, reduced-motion support, and HTML-first content. A conformance claim still requires live browser, assistive-technology, content, plugin, and PDF review.

Implemented theme practices

Inclusive use is part of the production preflight

These items are implemented in the packaged theme. The deployed WordPress environment must still verify plugins, content, analytics, calendars, embeds, and server-side form behavior.

Semantic, server-rendered structure

Core pages render as HTML with landmarks, a single primary heading, logical sections, labels, and crawlable links without requiring client-side routing.

Keyboard and focus support

The theme includes a skip link, visible focus treatment, keyboard-operable navigation, Escape-key menu closing, and native disclosure controls where appropriate.

Responsive reflow

Layouts use CSS Grid and Flexbox, avoid wide proof tables, and provide vertical disclosure patterns for smaller viewports.

Form instructions and error support

Public forms use associated labels, fieldsets, required-state cues, privacy instructions, an accessible error summary, and no inaccessible CAPTCHA dependency.

Reduced-motion support

The stylesheet respects reduced-motion preferences and avoids motion as a requirement for understanding content.

HTML equivalents for buyer resources

Key downloadable resources have contextual HTML landing pages so buyers are not forced to rely on a PDF alone.

Requires live verification

Automated checks do not replace human accessibility review.

The packaged route and preflight tools can identify missing labels, alt attributes, landmarks, metadata, duplicate IDs, and other detectable problems. They cannot prove that a workflow is understandable or efficient with assistive technology.

Live review checklist

  • Color contrast across all rendered states and browser combinations
  • Keyboard-only use of every menu, disclosure, form, search, and diagnostic control
  • Screen-reader behavior in current NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and mobile combinations
  • Reflow at 320 CSS pixels and browser zoom at 400 percent
  • Error recovery after live server-side form failures
  • Accessible tagging and reading order for downloadable PDFs
  • Third-party or plugin output introduced by the deployed WordPress environment

Accessibility questions

Does this page claim WCAG certification?

No. The theme targets WCAG 2.1 AA practices, but conformance requires live testing, human review, deployed content review, and remediation of any issues found.

How can an accessibility issue be reported?

Use the contact route or email consulting@longtermsoftware.com with the page URL, browser or assistive technology, the task attempted, and a concise description of the barrier. Do not include sensitive system data.

Are PDF resources the only way to access the material?

No. Key checklists and technical resources have HTML landing pages. Where a PDF remains difficult to use, request an alternative format through the contact route.

Does the site require JavaScript for core content?

No. Core service, pricing, proof, case, article, and resource content is server-rendered. JavaScript supports navigation, local diagnostics, and enhanced form feedback rather than replacing essential page content.

Are third-party plugins covered by the theme statement?

Not automatically. A deployed WordPress environment must verify plugin, form, analytics, calendar, consent, and embedded content separately because those components can change accessibility behavior.
