-
-### 6. Motion Preferences Testing
-
-**Process:**
-1. Enable `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` in OS settings
-2. Reload page
-3. Verify animations are instant
-4. Verify transitions are instant

-
-## Recommendations for Week 6
-
-### Critical (Must Address)
-None — no critical issues detected. All WCAG 2.1 AA criteria met.
-
-### Important (Should Address)
-1. **Contact Form Keyboard** — Form submission can be keyboard-only (already implemented)
-2. **About Page Heading Hierarchy** — Ensure h2 used after h1, no skipped levels
-3. **404 Page Navigation** — Provide clear navigation back to home (keyboard accessible)
-
-### Nice to Have (Enhancement Opportunities)
-1. **Skip Link** — Already implemented; could be more prominent on focus
-2. **Extended Screen Reader Testing** — Test with JAWS (Windows), additional screen readers
-3. **Mobile A11y Testing** — Extended testing on physical devices (not just emulation)
-4. **Automated Testing** — Implement automated accessibility checks (axe-core, etc.)
-
