ACCESSIBILITY

Technical Specification

GoalRush Global is built with semantic HTML5, ARIA landmarks and labels, sufficient colour contrast, keyboard navigation support, and screen reader-compatible components. Our frontend uses React/Next.js and Tailwind CSS with a focus on progressive enhancement.

What We've Done

• Semantic landmarks: <header>, <main>, <footer>, <nav>
• Skip-to-main-content link available on every page
• All interactive elements are keyboard focusable with visible focus indicators
• Images include descriptive alt text
• Form inputs are associated with labels via htmlFor
• Colour contrast meets WCAG 2.1 AA (minimum 4.5:1 for body text)
• Live score updates use aria-live regions
• Animations respect prefers-reduced-motion
• Cookie consent dialog uses role="dialog" and aria-live="polite"

Known Limitations

• The live score ticker pauses on focus but may be difficult to read with screen magnification at high scroll speeds
• Some embedded third-party content (ad units) may not meet our accessibility standards — we are working with partners to address this
• The AI football assistant chat widget is currently only accessible via pointer; keyboard-only access is planned
