Accessibility
Registry Docs targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance as its accessibility baseline for the v0 launch. This page records the commitments, keyboard navigation guarantee, and alt-text policy.
WCAG target
Section titled “WCAG target”The site targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
All text meets AA contrast ratios against their backgrounds (calculated values; not yet verified by a third-party audit tool).
Blue France #000091 on white #ffffff passes AA for normal text.
Blue France on the active-sidebar tint #eeeefd also passes AA for normal text.
Status text uses ink #161616 on white, well above the AA threshold.
Keyboard navigation
Section titled “Keyboard navigation”The site is keyboard-navigable end to end. A skip-link is present to bypass repeated navigation. Focus rings are 2 px Blue France with 2 px offset, square corners. Browser focus defaults are not suppressed.
The masthead, secondary navigation, sidebar, and footer use semantic HTML landmarks:
<header>, <nav>, <aside>, and <footer>.
The content column uses <main>.
Alt text and image policy
Section titled “Alt text and image policy”Every image has either alt text or a visible caption that conveys the essential information
without requiring the image to be visible.
Conceptual diagrams use SVG.
Important labels in a diagram also appear in nearby HTML text,
so machine contracts are not encoded only inside an image.
The site does not use animated GIFs or videos in v0.
Search
Section titled “Search”The search input has a visible label on the implemented version. The placeholder text is not a substitute for a label.
Known limitations
Section titled “Known limitations”- The v0 site has not yet undergone an external WCAG audit. The commitments above reflect design intent and in-progress implementation.
- French routes are not enabled in v0.
When French content is added, translated
alttext and landmark labels will be required.
Design reference
Section titled “Design reference”The design decisions that back these commitments are in design-registry-docs.md.
