Launch review
Limitations and accessibility notes
Frontend limitations
- Journal items, project links, and social profiles are static demo data
- No CMS, project database, contact form, analytics, or media management is included
- The loading screen adds intentional delay and should be reassessed for the final audience
Accessibility and reduced motion
- MotionConfig and section primitives observe the user's reduced-motion preference
- The exploration overlay includes a labeled close control and dialog-style label association
- Replacement projects and media still need final alternative text, focus, and contrast review
