Eight representative public routes and every reusable page template were evaluated on August 21, 2026 using Lighthouse accessibility audits based on axe-core rules. Following remediation, all eight tested routes achieved an automated accessibility score of 100. Automated testing is supplemented by keyboard, focus, responsive zoom, form, semantic-structure, and reduced-motion review.
Accessibility standard
The site is designed and evaluated against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, WCAG 2.2, at Level AA. This standard informs color contrast, keyboard access, visible focus, semantic structure, text alternatives, form labeling, responsive reflow, motion preferences, and understandable navigation.
Accessibility is an ongoing quality commitment. An automated score is useful evidence, but it is not a legal certification and cannot establish complete conformance by itself.
Testing methodology
The baseline covered the homepage, biography, blog archive, a long-form article, contact form, privacy policy, terms of use, and this accessibility report. Together, these routes exercise every reusable layout and interaction pattern currently used across the public site.
- Automated Lighthouse accessibility review using axe-core rules
- Semantic heading, landmark, link-name, image-alternative, and form-label review
- Keyboard traversal, menu focus containment, Escape behavior, and focus return
- Visible focus-indicator and skip-link review
- Mobile reflow and horizontal-overflow review
- Reduced-motion behavior and responsive typography review
- Contact-form required fields, consent labeling, and anti-spam disclosure review
Current report status
The audit initially identified low-contrast secondary text, biography heading-order gaps, and a visible-label mismatch in the home wordmark. Those findings were corrected before this report was published. No critical, serious, moderate, or minor automated findings remained in the final baseline.
Ongoing monitoring
Accessibility will be reviewed when shared components, navigation, forms, visual systems, or publishing templates change. Representative routes will be rescanned after material releases, and reported barriers will be investigated and tracked through remediation.
Third-party services, including reCAPTCHA and external article links, are not fully controlled by Brad.expert. Where an external service creates a barrier, assistance or an alternative path will be provided when reasonably possible.
Feedback and assistance
If you encounter an accessibility barrier or need site content in another format, use the secure contact form. Include the affected page address, the task you were trying to complete, the browser or assistive technology involved, and a short description of the problem.
Accessibility feedback is treated as a product-quality issue and will be reviewed as promptly as practical.
