Accessibility
The accessibility work done on Toolcin, the known limits, and how to report a barrier.

Target
Toolcin aims to conform to WCAG 2.2 level AA. The site is plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript with no framework, which keeps the markup predictable for assistive technology.
What is in place
One h1 per page and headings in order; landmark regions for header, navigation, main and footer; a skip link to the main content; visible focus outlines on every interactive element; labels tied to every input; buttons used for actions and links used for navigation; aria-expanded and aria-current on menus and breadcrumbs; live regions for status messages; and a reduced-motion mode that switches off the animated background when your system asks for it.
Contrast and colour
Three themes are offered and each is checked for text contrast. The colour tools on the site exist partly so you can check a pair yourself: the contrast checker reports the ratio and which WCAG threshold it passes.
Known limits
Some tools are inherently visual — an image preview, a colour swatch, a QR code. Each of those also produces a numeric or text result that screen readers can read. The screen recorder depends on the browser's own capture permission dialog, which the page cannot control. Canvas-based previews are not described pixel by pixel.
Reporting a barrier
If something stops you completing a task, write to the contact address with the tool name, your browser and what happened. Accessibility issues are treated as bugs and prioritised over cosmetic requests.
