Conformance target

The Service is built to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Internal audits run quarterly. The current self-rating is “mostly conformant” with the gaps listed below.

What works

• Semantic HTML — every page uses one <h1>, ordered headings, native form controls and ARIA landmarks (header, nav, main, footer).
• Keyboard navigation — the whole site is reachable by Tab. Focus-visible outlines are explicit. Modals and the mobile drawer trap focus, close on Escape, and return focus to the trigger.
• Colour contrast — body text and CTA buttons meet AA contrast in both light and dark sections, verified by the WebAIM ratio.
• Reduced motion — animations and the typewriter effect respect prefers-reduced-motion: reduce and fall back to static text.
• Form fields — every input has a visible <label> tied by for/id. Error messages are announced via aria-live. Required-when-applicable fields show a clear hint instead of a misleading asterisk.
• RTL Arabic — the Arabic mirror is a real translation, not a flipped English. Headings, buttons, hints and error text are localised.

Known gaps

• The cascading category and plate-code selects show a short fake-loading animation between dependent steps. Screen readers may announce the empty intermediate state as “no options” for a fraction of a second.
• Decorative SVG illustrations carry aria-hidden="true" but the patterned highlighter under key phrases is still visible; we are testing a high-contrast theme that removes it on demand.

Tested browsers & assistive tech

Current matrix: latest two stable versions of Chromium, Firefox and Safari on Windows, macOS and iOS, plus VoiceOver on macOS/iOS and NVDA on Windows. Internet Explorer is not supported.
