Digital accessibility & bilingual readiness

• Skip-to-content link on every page for keyboard and screen-reader users (WCAG 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks).
• Visible focus rings on all interactive elements, meeting the AA focus appearance requirements (WCAG 2.4.7 / 2.4.11).
• Minimum target size of 44 × 44 px for buttons, tabs and mobile nav (WCAG 2.5.8 Target Size — Minimum).
• ARIA landmarks & labels on headers, navigation, main and footer; abbreviations (SV, DA) exposed as accessible names.
• Colour contrast checked for body text, links and buttons against WCAG AA contrast ratios; calm purple/pink palette tested against white and neutral backgrounds.
• User-controlled Accessibility Panel — text-size scaling, high-contrast toggle, reduced-motion mode, dyslexia-friendly font, all persisted per browser via localStorage.
• Reduced-motion support honouring prefers-reduced-motion and the user toggle.
• Trauma-informed patterns — Quick Exit button on every page, "Ground me" breathing modal, no auto-playing media, no forced pop-ups.
• Semantic HTML & heading hierarchy — one h1 per page, logical h2/h3 order, list semantics for structured guidance.
• Print stylesheet — every long-form guide and the guided journal are printable / saveable as PDF for offline reading.

The application ships with a full bilingual infrastructure so that Welsh translation can be added by a qualified translator without any further engineering work.

• React Context-based i18n (LanguageContext) with a persisted user preference — English or Cymraeg.
• Central translations.js dictionary — navigation, actions, footer and page chrome are already translation-ready.
• lang attribute updated on the document root when the user switches language (WCAG 3.1.1 Language of Page).
• Regional specialist Welsh services listed in the SV support directory.
• A visible "Cymraeg pending" notice explains where translation is not yet verified by a Welsh-speaker — avoiding machine-translated content on a sensitive site.

• No accounts, no sign-up, no personal data collected. Journal entries stay in the reader’s browser (localStorage) and are never uploaded.
• Anonymous, aggregate visit counts only — the backend stores per-page hit counters with no IP, user agent or fingerprint.
• Quick Exit button visible on every page — one tap redirects to a neutral site and replaces history entry.
• Admin analytics gated behind an environment key and hidden from the public interface.
• Trust signals — /.well-known/security.txt, JSON-LD schema and canonical meta tags, deployed to counter false-positive spam classification by gateway vendors (Sophos, Cisco Talos).
