Launch review
Limitations and accessibility notes
Frontend limitations
- Project and contact links are presentation-only until connected
- No CMS, form handling, project database, or media service is included
- The visual design depends on suitable replacement imagery
Accessibility and reduced motion
- Reduced-motion CSS removes feature-card transitions
- Animated text primitives preserve an accessible text label
- Final focus visibility, media alternatives, and contrast require review after customization
