Accessibility

Hire is built to meet WCAG 2.1 level AA. State workforce submissions are public-sector work, and the tool that produces them should not exclude the people doing it.

• Every control is reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible focus ring.
• Text meets AA contrast against its background, including muted secondary text.
• Animation is decorative only, and stops entirely when the operating system asks for reduced motion.
• Form fields have persistent labels rather than placeholder-only labels.
• Loading states are announced to assistive technology instead of appearing silently.
• Layouts reflow to 320px without horizontal scrolling.

The split-pane divider in the editor is drag-driven and does not yet have a keyboard equivalent; use the Edit and Preview modes instead. The document preview reproduces the agency template exactly, which means its structure is fixed by the template rather than chosen by us.
