Our Accessibility Efforts
To meet our commitment to accessibility, we have implemented the following measures:
- Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Compliance:
Our website has been designed and developed to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines are widely recognized as the international standard for web accessibility, and they help ensure that our website is usable by people of all abilities. - Accessible Features:
We have incorporated various accessibility features into our website, including:
- Keyboard Navigation: Our site can be fully navigated using only a keyboard, allowing users with motor disabilities to easily move through our content.
- Text Alternatives: Images, videos, and other non-text content are accompanied by descriptive text alternatives (alt text) to support users who rely on screen readers.
- Resizable Text: Users can adjust the text size on our site to improve readability without losing content or functionality.
- Color Contrast: We use high-contrast color schemes to ensure that text and images are easily distinguishable for users with visual impairments.
- Accessible Forms: Our forms are designed to be easily navigable and include clear labels and instructions.
- Ongoing Improvement:
Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we are continuously working to improve the usability of our website. We regularly review our site to identify and address any accessibility issues, and we welcome feedback from our users to help us enhance the experience for everyone.
