Our Approach to Web Accessibility

Web accessibility means creating an environment where individuals with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the web, and can contribute to the web. We are dedicated to implementing accessible design and continuously improving the user experience for all.

Accessibility Features on Our Site

We have aligned our website with the WCAG 2.2 guidelines, striving for a level of AA accessibility. Our site is optimized for assistive technologies, ensuring seamless navigation and interaction for individuals with disabilities. To achieve this, we have:

  • Utilized innovative accessibility tools to identify and address potential issues

  • Structured the site's content for clear comprehension and navigation

  • Provided descriptive text for images to aid those using screen readersImplemented high contrast color schemes for improved readability

  • Minimized the use of animations and motion effects

  • Ensured that all multimedia content is accessible
