Why

The site needs a more robust, state-of-the-art UX baseline: a minimum standard of WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility and a consistently responsive UI across devices and large displays.

What Changes

  • Establish a minimum accessibility baseline targeting WCAG 2.2 AA (without aiming for perfect/100% compliance).
  • Make the UI fully responsive across common breakpoints (mobile/tablet/desktop/large desktop).
  • Update the primary navigation to collapse into a hamburger menu on smaller viewports with mild animation.
  • Fix the background gradient so it does not show abrupt cuts/banding at larger resolutions.
  • Introduce a smoother, display-friendly font stack (and apply it consistently).

Capabilities

New Capabilities

  • wcag-responsive-ui: Accessibility + responsive UI shell standards for layout, navigation, typography, and global styling (WCAG 2.2 AA baseline).

Modified Capabilities

Impact

  • Frontend UI: site/src/layouts/*, header/navigation components, shared UI components, and global CSS (site/public/styles/global.css).
  • Interaction patterns: keyboard navigation and focus styles, menu toggle behavior, and motion controls (respecting reduced-motion preferences).
  • Visual design: typography and background rendering across large screens.
  • Verification: add/update checks/tests for responsive nav behavior and basic accessibility expectations (e.g., menu toggle labeling, focus visibility).
