What this site does to stay usable, what it does not do yet, and how to tell us when it fails you.
What is in placeനിലവിലുള്ളത്
Checked against the code, not assumedകോഡിൽ പരിശോധിച്ചത്- Every page opens with a skip link that jumps straight to the main content, before the navigation.
- Keyboard focus is always visible. Focused controls take a solid outline offset from the element, and it appears for keyboard use without cluttering mouse use.
- The theme switch reports its state as a pressed button, and the mobile menu button reports whether it is expanded and which region it controls.
- Decoration is hidden from screen readers. The lattice patterns, the star ornaments, the brand mark and the hero illustration are all marked so they are skipped rather than read out.
- The result of using the register field is announced as a live status message rather than only appearing on screen.
- Smooth scrolling is switched off for anyone whose system asks for reduced motion.
- On touch devices the header controls are given a minimum height of 44 pixels. Mouse users keep tighter spacing.
- The page works from 320 pixels wide upwards with no sideways scrolling, in both the light and the dark theme.
- Colour is never the only signal. Links carry an underline as well as a colour change.
Contrastനിറവ്യത്യാസം
Measured, in both themesരണ്ട് തീമുകളിലും അളന്നത്The palette was measured rather than eyeballed. Body text reaches about 14.5:1 against its background, secondary text about 5.7:1, and the accent colour used for links and the brand mark about 6:1 in the light theme and 5.7:1 in the dark one. All of these clear the 4.5:1 that WCAG 2.1 asks for at level AA.
The accent is a different value in each theme for exactly this reason. The ink taken from the logo files is legible on pale paper but reaches only 1.7:1 on a dark ground, so the dark theme uses a lightened version of the same hue.
Known gapsപോരായ്മകൾ
Being honest about what is unfinishedപൂർത്തിയാകാത്തവ- The register field validates an address and confirms it on screen, but it is not connected to anything yet. Nothing is sent and nothing is stored.
- The search button in the header is not a search. It moves you to the news section.
- The site carries a Malayalam translation in its markup that is currently hidden. It is kept so the second language can be switched back on, but no reader can reach it today.
- The site has not been tested with a screen reader by anyone who uses one daily. If you do, we would rather hear from you than guess.
Tell us when it failsപ്രശ്നം അറിയിക്കുക
We would rather knowഞങ്ങൾ അറിയാൻ ആഗ്രഹിക്കുന്നുIf something on this site is hard or impossible to use, write and say which page it was, what you were trying to do, and what you were using to do it. That last part matters more than people expect.
