Website Accessibility
What is Website Accessibility?
Accessibility on the web means making sure that our website can be used by anyone. This includes individuals with disabilities that affect their hearing, movement, sight, and cognitive ability.
Why Accessibility Matters
We prioritize accessibility because it ensures that everyone who uses our website has equal access to information and functionality. It’s an integral part of our commitment to inclusivity and serving a diverse audience.
Our Approach to Accessibility
We adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA standards, which guide how our website is designed and developed. Key aspects of these standards that we meet include:
- Text alternatives for non-text content
- Audio descriptions and captions for video content
- Content can be presented in different ways without losing information or structure
- All functionality is available from a keyboard
- Users have enough time to read and use the content
- Efforts are made to ensure content does not cause seizures
