Define behaviour, not appearance alone
The nineteen-page source reference connects page and component implementation to accessibility review. It covers structure, language, typography/resize, reduced motion, tables, focus, navigation, forms and feedback.
The portfolio explains the intended guidance. Illustrative source snippets are not copied as production code; inspected examples require technical review before reuse.
Describe the component contract
A component needs a meaningful structure, an operable input path and understandable feedback. A form needs a clear label, validation, error recovery and a preserved route forward.
| Implementation area | Handoff expectation |
|---|---|
| Page structure and language | Meaningful semantics and an explicit language context. |
| Navigation and focus | Understandable keyboard movement and visible focus. |
| Forms and errors | Labels, validation and recoverable feedback. |
| Status and timeout | Perceivable updates and an understandable next action. |
| Resize and reduced motion | Respect user needs when size or motion preference changes. |
| Documents and tables | Provide meaningful structure and accessible alternatives. |
Use a testable review record
The guide’s review prompts include keyboard, screen-reader, zoom and automated checks. These methods complement each other and should be linked to a specific page, state and task.
A handoff record should distinguish an implementation issue, its remedy and the evidence from a repeat check. Documentation alone cannot establish conformance.
Maintain a reviewed reference
Before reuse, the guide needs an authoritative version, corrected examples and standards review. Developer acceptance, training and implemented components provide evidence of adoption.
The artifact demonstrates a developer-facing reference scope; it does not establish a certified site or a complete remediation programme.
Outcomes and learning
A reusable documented reference. Operational adoption and measured effects require separate execution evidence.
About the evidence
- Original developer guide and matching Portal Unification typography, motion, semantics, table, focus, error and status frames.
- Source snippets are illustrative and were not shipped as implementation code.
