Accessibility Statement

madcoolhifi.com aims to conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. We treat accessibility as a correctness issue, not a polish item.

What we commit to

• Full keyboard navigation for every interactive element.
• Visible focus indicators on every input, button, and link — a glow-tinted box-shadow ring that meets 3:1 contrast against the dark theme.
• Reduced-motion users get a still page — the ambient particle field stops drawing and the custom cursor renders static, with no orbit or pulse.
• Color contrast of at least 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text and UI chrome.
• Semantic HTML with ARIA only where semantics fall short.
• Announce-on-route-change for App Router transitions, via a visually-hidden <output aria-live="polite"> live region that mirrors the new page title.

How we test

Every pull request and a daily scheduled run trigger Lighthouse CI against the latest preview, which audits accessibility, performance, best-practices, and SEO on the home, privacy, and member routes. Regressions surface as PR comments. We also run periodic manual passes with keyboard-only and NVDA.

Known limitations

The ambient particle field behind the hero is decorative only — every piece of information on the page is in real text, not imagery. The dealer map (Mapbox GL) keyboard navigation between markers is not yet fully wired; pan and zoom work via keyboard but selecting a specific dealer pin currently requires a pointer or the dealer list view. If any third-party embeds are added later they may lag this target; flag any you encounter and we’ll address them.
