Accessibility Policy

1. Our Commitment

We aim to ensure that our website and services are accessible to all users, regardless of ability or technology. Our goal is to meet and exceed the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

We believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

2. Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following accessibility features on our website:

• Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML to ensure that content is properly structured and can be interpreted by assistive technologies.
• Keyboard Navigation: All functionality is operable through a keyboard interface without requiring specific timings for individual keystrokes.
• Text Alternatives: We provide text alternatives for non-text content so that it can be changed into other forms people need, such as large print, braille, speech, symbols, or simpler language.
• Color Contrast: We ensure sufficient contrast between text and its background to make content readable for users with visual impairments.
• Resizable Text: Our website allows users to resize text without loss of content or functionality.
• ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance accessibility for users of assistive technologies.
• Focus Indicators: We provide visible focus indicators to help keyboard users navigate through interactive elements.
