Accessibility

Our commitment

mmjnow is built to be usable by everyone, including people who use screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, screen magnification, or voice control. We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA as our target.

Conformance status

mmjnow.com partially conforms to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. "Partially conforms" means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. We are tracking the known exceptions listed below and remediating on a rolling basis.

Last audited: May 16, 2026.

Known exceptions

• State map "Unknown" tile. The tile for states with insufficient data has lower contrast than the rest of the map. The same information is also available in plain text in the states table at /states.
• Inline link target size. Some inline links in body prose are smaller than 24 by 24 CSS pixels. Navigation, footer, and form controls meet the target-size minimum.

What works well

• Skip-to-main-content link on every page.
• Semantic landmarks: header, primary navigation, main, breadcrumb navigation, footer.
• Visible keyboard focus indicator on every interactive element.
• Sticky header offsets focus so Tab focus and anchor jumps clear it.
• Reduced-motion support: animations and transitions are disabled when your operating system reports a "reduce motion" preference.
• Color is never the sole signal of legality, evidence level, or page state. Text labels accompany every color-coded element.
• All external links open with rel="noopener noreferrer".
• Page-revision dates are machine-readable.

Standards we follow

• WCAG 2.2 Level AA (target).
• WCAG 2.1 Level AA (floor: referenced by the U.S. Department of Justice's April 2024 rule under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and treated as the de facto bar in private-sector ADA Title III case law).
• ARIA 1.2 Authoring Practices for custom interactive components.

How we test

• Automated scanning with axe-core on every continuous-integration run against a representative page set.
• Manual keyboard navigation review.
• Manual screen-reader spot-checks with VoiceOver (macOS Safari) and NVDA (Windows Firefox).
• Color-contrast measurement against the design-token palette.
