Accessibility

We want Sportsmortem to be usable by everyone, including people who browse with a screen reader, navigate by keyboard, need larger text or higher contrast, or prefer reduced motion.

Our target is WCAG 2.2 Level AA. We are partially conformant: most of the standard is met, but the gaps listed below are not, and the site has not been independently audited. We would rather say that plainly than claim a certification we have not earned.

What we have done

• Text and interface colours meet the WCAG 2.2 AA contrast minimums in both light and dark themes, including component boundaries.
• A skip link, a labelled main landmark, and visible 2px focus indicators on every interactive element.
• Animation is suppressed for visitors whose system asks for reduced motion, and the headline carousel can be paused.
• Standings and results tables use real header cells, row headers, captions, and sort state that is exposed to screen readers.
• Charts and shot maps distinguish teams by fill and outline rather than by colour alone.
• Content that loads asynchronously is announced rather than appearing silently.
• Every control is reachable and operable by keyboard, including pagination, shot maps and chart toggles, and focus is never hidden behind the sticky header.
• Dates and numbers follow the visitor’s locale, and the sport is named “football” or “soccer” to match it.

Known gaps

• Some dense tables render at 10px, which is below a comfortable reading size even though it meets the contrast and zoom requirements.
• The interface is available in English only. Dates, numbers and sport terminology adapt to your locale, but no translated content is offered yet.
• We have not yet completed testing with screen readers (VoiceOver, NVDA, JAWS) or a full manual keyboard pass of every flow, so undiscovered issues are likely.
