Changelog 2026-03-05 (Accessibility Footer Current-Page Context Pass 21)

Published

Article content

Changed

  • Converted footer links to a small structured link map and added active-route detection.
  • Added aria-current="page" to footer links when the current page matches the footer destination.
  • Added explicit current-page styling for footer links so visual and assistive-tech navigation context stay aligned.

Why

  • Gives screen-reader users the same “you are here” context in footer navigation that already exists in primary nav.
  • Reduces orientation friction when navigating deeply linked pages from the footer.
