Jan 1, 2026Summary for 2026-01: Delivered two high-impact CTA enhancements in torchbox/rca-wagtail-2019, driving user engagement and improving accessibility. Brochure CTA Modal UX Enhancements implemented with an on-load trigger, improved close-button focus behavior, streamlined link presentation, and tighter modal spacing to remove friction and encourage brochure sign-ups. Countdown CTA Accessibility and Readability Enhancements added ARIA attributes and updated date/time formatting to improve readability and accessibility for assistive technologies and a wider audience. Associated commits demonstrate disciplined UI polish and pattern-library discipline: test modal on page load (c7fbd993f8366ea7290be8584c2731838704be36), avoid focusing the close button on open (6ad0152aba312f2d4b6878bf0ebbcd7ff1fed5b8), remove underline on link icon in CTA modal (547b58a50cb39c6fa6606cdbf2775f025724802f), fix hairline gap at modal footer/notch (5c503cc8be1ef1303df4fce6154976376a2a74bb); add aria-labelledby and update countdown date format (7e8f8137719d141e626f3162859434375da9402b, 412c2d20b51d764ef3c606aa57d8c675a0d1f8c5).
