- Conformance to Standards: We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.
- Assistive Technology Compatibility: Our website is designed to be compatible with assistive technologies, including screen readers, screen magnifiers, and voice recognition software.

Specific Accessibility Features
Keyboard Navigation
Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard. Users can access all interactive elements, including links, buttons, and form fields, using the Tab key. We have implemented skip links to allow users to bypass repetitive navigation and jump directly to the main content of each page.
Screen Reader Support
We have implemented semantic HTML and ARIA attributes to ensure that our website is properly interpreted by screen readers. All images have descriptive alt text, and form fields are properly labeled. We regularly test our website with popular screen readers, such as JAWS and NVDA, to ensure compatibility.
Color Contrast
We have carefully selected color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background colors. This helps users with low vision or color blindness to easily read the content on our website. We use color contrast analyzers to verify that our website meets WCAG 2.1 Level AA color contrast requirements.
Text Resizing
Users can easily resize the text on our website using their browser settings. Our website is designed to be responsive, so the layout will adapt to different text sizes without losing functionality.
Image Alternatives
All images on our website have descriptive alternative text (alt text) that conveys the content and function of the image to users who cannot see it. Decorative images are given null alt attributes (alt="") to prevent screen readers from announcing them.
Form Accessibility
All form fields on our website are properly labeled, and instructions are provided to help users understand how to fill out the forms. We have implemented ARIA attributes to provide additional context and guidance to users of assistive technologies. We also provide clear error messages when users make mistakes in filling out the forms.
Video Accessibility
We are working to ensure that all videos on our website are accessible to users with disabilities. We provide captions and transcripts for all videos to make them accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing. We also provide audio descriptions for videos to make them accessible to users who are blind or have low vision.
Consistent Navigation
Our website has a consistent navigation structure throughout, making it easy for users to find the information they need. The main navigation menu is located at the top of each page, and a footer navigation is provided at the bottom of each page.
Clear and Simple Language
We strive to use clear and simple language throughout our website to make it easy for all users to understand the content. We avoid jargon and technical terms whenever possible.
Responsive Design
Our website is designed to be responsive, meaning that it adapts to different screen sizes and devices. This ensures that users can access our website on their desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
Dark Theme Support
We offer a dark theme option to reduce eye strain, especially in low-light conditions. Users can toggle between the light and dark themes using a button in the footer of the website. The dark theme inverts the colors of the website, making it easier to read for some users.
