Known Limitations
The following items require manual testing or backend integration that is outside the scope of the current static site deployment:
- Contact form submission is currently front-end only. Backend integration (email delivery, confirmation) is pending. Screen reader announcement of submission status is implemented but depends on backend response.
- Windows High Contrast Mode has been designed for but not formally tested with all system themes.
- The hero background image is decorative and does not convey information not available in text. However, formal screen reader testing with NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver has not been completed for all pages.
