Our target

We're building Dibs on Dirt to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. That's a target we're working toward, not a claim that every page already meets it.

This statement tells you what's in place, what isn't yet, and how to reach us if something doesn't work.

What's in place

• Screen-reader-only labels on form fields that don't show visible text, using a standard .sr-only utility rather than placeholder-as-label.
• Every input on the Add Watch form and account settings has a real <label>, visible or screen-reader-only.
• Decorative icons and logo marks are marked aria-hidden so screen readers skip them instead of announcing redundant SVG paths.
• The interactive park map carries a full aria-label description, with a plain-text list of every park and its link below it as a fallback.
• Keyboard focus is visible everywhere: every button, link, and form control gets a :focus-visible outline, not just a mouse hover state.
• Decorative animation, like the amber glow pulse and map-pin hover, is wrapped in prefers-reduced-motion guards, so it doesn't run for visitors who've turned motion down.
• Touch targets in the signed-in dashboard hold to a 44px minimum, per WCAG 2.5.5.

Known limitations

A few gaps we know about and haven't closed yet:

• Type sizing is pixel-based. Our font sizes are set in px, not rem. Browser and OS "larger text" settings won't scale everything the way they would on a fully rem-based site. Zooming the whole page still works normally.
• Color contrast hasn't had a dedicated audit. We lean on design tokens for de-emphasized text to stay above WCAG AA thresholds, but we haven't run a page-by-page contrast check.
• Coverage is heaviest on the main flows. We've focused review on the homepage, pricing, and the watch-creation form first. Older or lower-traffic pages may lag behind, though the decorative-logo pass above now runs across every page on the site.

Feedback
