Structure
Semantic landmarks, meaningful heading order, and content that remains understandable without visual effects.
ACCESSIBILITY
Designed to be usable.
Accessibility is part of the design and engineering standard. Monarch targets WCAG 2.2 AA for functional content and interaction, with human review alongside automated checks.
Keyboard
Interactive controls are designed to remain reachable and visibly focused without relying on a pointer.
Contrast
Functional text and controls are reviewed independently of decorative gold, silver, crimson, and material effects.
Motion
Reduced-motion preferences are respected globally; motion is not used as the only carrier of meaning.
Media
Project imagery receives meaningful alternatives when it communicates information and is marked decorative when it does not.
Touch
Interactive targets are designed for comfortable use across mobile and touch environments.
Review
Accessibility is part of release verification and is not treated as a post-release styling task.
Known accessibility limitations are treated as release defects or documented exceptions and are prioritized according to their effect on access to critical content and interaction.
