What web accessibility means to us
Web accessibility is about ensuring that all individuals, including those with disabilities, can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the web. It's our goal to provide an accessible online platform that caters to diverse needs and preferences.
Our commitment to accessibility
We have diligently aligned our website with WCAG 2.1 guidelines and have achieved a level of AA compliance. Our site is optimized for assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard navigation, to ensure a seamless browsing experience for all users. Our efforts include:
- - Utilizing the Accessibility Wizard to identify and address potential accessibility issues
- Setting the language and content order of the site's pages
- Establishing clear heading structures and providing alternative text for images
- Implementing color combinations that meet required contrast ratios
- Minimizing the use of motion and ensuring accessibility of multimedia content
We are proud of our dedication to web accessibility and acknowledge that certain pages may have partial compliance due to third-party content.
