ACCESSIBILITY

A map of smell should not require one perfect way of sensing the world.

Accessibility is part of the product direction, especially because smell perception and ability vary widely.

01

Keyboard access

Important navigation and interactive controls should remain usable without a mouse.

02

Readable contrast

The website uses a light-only visual system with deliberate text/background contrast.

03

Reduced motion

Animation should respect reduced-motion preferences.

04

Semantic structure

Pages should use headings, landmarks, labels and link text that remain understandable to assistive technology.

05

Not smell-dependent

Core information must remain usable without the ability to smell. SmellBook is a visual and linguistic interface to smell, not a test of olfactory ability.

ONGOING WORK

Accessibility is a maintenance task, not a launch checkbox.

As interactive tools arrive, keyboard behavior, screen-reader output, motion, form labels and error handling should be re-tested.
