What web accessibility is
Web accessibility is the practice of ensuring that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the web, and that they can contribute to the web. It encompasses all disabilities that affect access to the web, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.
Accessibility adjustments on this site
We have diligently adhered to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) [2.0 / 2.1 / 2.2] to ensure our website meets the highest accessibility standards. Our efforts have focused on enhancing compatibility with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard navigation, to facilitate seamless access to our content.
- Our accessibility enhancements include utilizing the Accessibility Wizard to identify and address potential issues, establishing clear heading structures, providing alternative text for images, and implementing color combinations that meet the required contrast ratios. Additionally, we have prioritized making all videos, audio, and files accessible to individuals with disabilities.
