Fair questions

Is Strata Week real?

No. It is a fictional event invented for a design demo. Names, prices, venues and speakers are placeholders and nothing here can be bought.

Where is Port Meridian?

Nowhere you can fly to. It is an invented harbour city used to give the layout something specific to say.

Is the site accessible?

It is built to WCAG 2.2 AA: keyboard operable, visible focus, labelled controls, and every moving thing has a pause switch in the header.

What happens with reduced motion on?

The page keeps its meaning and drops the movement. Pinned scenes become normal sections and sliders become scrollable regions.

Can I reuse the layout?

That is the point of the exercise. The bones are a pattern. The brand, type, palette and imagery are original to this build.
