Known limitations for port-webdesign.com:

  1. Contact form hidden fields: Our contact form on the contact page uses hidden fields to serve as 'honey pots' to deter spam.These hidden input elements are visually hidden with CSS and hidden from screen readers with aria labels (aria-hidden) but still trigger an accessibility error due to the fields not having labels. Our platform solution for forms uses the hidden fields method to deter non-human entries. Our platform is in the process of upgrading the form solution with a modern captcha method that will be rolled out next year (2025).When it is shipped we will implement the new method.
