Accessibility Features

We have implemented several features to enhance the accessibility of our website:

  • Alternative Text for Images: All images have descriptive alternative text, allowing screen readers to convey the content of the images to users who cannot see them.
  • Keyboard Navigation: The website is fully navigable using only a keyboard. Users can use the tab key to move through interactive elements and the enter key to activate them.
  • Clear Heading Structure: We use a clear and consistent heading structure (H1, H2, H3, etc.) to help users understand the organization of content on each page.
  • Sufficient Color Contrast: We have carefully selected color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background, making it easier for users with low vision to read the content.
  • Adjustable Text Size: Users can adjust the text size using their browser settings to make the content more readable.
  • Descriptive Links: All links have descriptive text that clearly indicates the destination of the link.
  • Form Accessibility: Our forms are designed to be accessible to users with disabilities. We provide clear labels for each form field and ensure that error messages are easy to understand.
  • ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies about the roles, states, and properties of interactive elements.

Assistive Technologies

Our website is designed to be compatible with a variety of assistive technologies, including:

  • Screen readers (e.g., JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver)
  • Screen magnifiers
  • Voice recognition software
  • Keyboard navigation tools

We regularly test our website with these assistive technologies to ensure compatibility and usability.
