Accessibility Statement

Accessibility Standards

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities.

Conforming to these guidelines helps make our website more user-friendly for all people, including those who use assistive technologies.

Measures We Take

To support accessibility, we take the following measures:

• Semantic HTML: We use proper HTML structure including headings, lists, and landmarks to help screen readers navigate content
• Alt Text: We provide alternative text descriptions for images to convey information to users who cannot see them
• Color Contrast: We maintain sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds for readability
• Keyboard Navigation: We design our website to be navigable using a keyboard alone
• Readable Fonts: We use legible fonts at appropriate sizes that can be resized by users
• Clear Links: We use descriptive link text that makes sense out of context
• Form Labels: We provide clear labels for form fields and inputs
• Consistent Navigation: We maintain consistent navigation throughout the website

Assistive Technology Compatibility

Our website aims to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:

• Screen readers (such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver)
• Screen magnification software
• Speech recognition software
• Keyboard-only navigation

We test our website on various browsers and devices to ensure broad compatibility.
