Accessibility and semantic HTML evidence

The concrete accessibility and semantic HTML practices used by the ModelBreeder.com plain PHP templates.

Direct answer

ModelBreeder.com renders ordinary server-side HTML with landmarks, headings, labels, focus styles, skip links, breadcrumbs, table markup, article regions, and descriptive link text. The package includes automated structural checks, but a manual accessibility review should still be repeated after live deployment.

Implemented features

FeatureEvidence
Skip linkThe layout begins with a visible-on-focus “Skip to content” link.
LandmarksShared header, navigation, main, article, aside, and footer regions.
LabelsSearch form and icon actions include text labels or aria-label.
Keyboard behaviorMobile navigation closes on link activation and Escape.
Focus visibilityCSS defines :focus-visible outlines and focused form states.
Code blocksCopy buttons have labels and do not replace the code content.
DiagramsInline SVG diagrams include titles or text alternatives where templates render them.
ImagesMarkdown images require alt text and use safe URL schemes.

Manual review checklist

pseudocode
FUNCTION manual_accessibility_review(urls)
    FOR each url IN sample(urls)
        inspect_keyboard_navigation(url)
        inspect_heading_order(url)
        inspect_focus_visibility(url)
        inspect_color_contrast(url)
        inspect_accessibility_tree_names(url)
        inspect_mobile_nav(url)
    END FOR
END FUNCTION

Known boundary

The package does not include a browser automation accessibility runner such as axe-core. The structural audit is helpful, but it is not a substitute for live manual review on the deployed host.
