Accessibility

For a 55+ audience, legibility and clarity are not a compliance appendix — they are part of the service. We target WCAG 2.2 Level AA across this website and treat older-adult usability as the floor rather than the ceiling.

What we have built in

• Type size. Body text starts at 18px with generous line spacing, rather than the 14–16px common on marketing sites.
• Contrast. Text meets at least 4.5:1 against its background, and large text at least 3:1. Our bronze accent is used for rules, icons and small capitalised labels — never as a button fill or for small body copy, where it would fail.
• Zoom. Pages remain usable at 200% text resizing without losing content or function.
• Touch and click targets. Interactive controls are at least 48 by 48 pixels.
• Keyboard. Every part of the site, including the entire Priority List signup and the voting ballot, is operable by keyboard alone.
• Focus. A high-visibility focus outline is always present. We never remove it for aesthetic reasons.
• Form labels. Labels sit above their fields and stay visible. We do not use placeholder text as a label.
• Errors. Errors are explained in words, tied to the field they concern, and announced to screen readers. Colour is never the only signal.
• Motion. We respect the prefers-reduced-motion setting, and no information depends on animation or parallax.
• Images. Meaningful images carry descriptive alternative text; purely decorative ones are hidden from screen readers.
• Skip link. A skip-to-content link is the first item in the tab order on every page.
• No pop-ups. We do not use interstitial or modal lead-capture overlays.
• A human alternative. Everything you can do on this site, you can also do by phone.

What we are still working on

• A full third-party audit against WCAG 2.2 AA, including assistive-technology testing, before public launch
• Descriptive alternative text for photography and renderings, written as real assets replace the current placeholders
• Captions and transcripts for video, once construction-update video begins
• Accessibility regression checks in the deployment pipeline

We would rather tell you what is unfinished than claim conformance we have not yet verified.

If something is not working

Please tell us the page, what you were trying to do, and what happened. If you use assistive technology, letting us know which one helps us reproduce the problem.

The buildings, too

This statement covers the website. Physical accessibility of the community — unit accessibility features, path-of-travel, parking and common areas — will be addressed under applicable accessibility and fair-housing requirements as the design is finalised, and we will publish specifics once construction documents are complete.
