Accessibility

We design spokane.beer to be usable with a keyboard, a screen reader, and in a range of color and contrast conditions. Accessibility is part of the definition of done for every feature, not a separate track.

What we commit to

  • All interactive elements are keyboard-reachable and have a visible focus ring.
  • All images and icons convey meaning via alt text or aria labels.
  • Form fields have explicit labels and error messages.
  • Color is never the only signal of meaning; text and icons accompany category color-coding.
  • We test with @axe-core/playwright in CI on the main public pages (home, directory, events, specials, guides).

Known gaps

Some themed variants (e.g. night porch, market carnival) have visually active backgrounds. We enforce a 4.5:1 minimum body-text contrast, but if you find a spot where a theme makes text hard to read, please tell us.
