Specific Accessibility Features Implemented
Keyboard Navigation
We ensure that all interactive elements on our website are navigable using a keyboard alone. Users can tab through links, form fields, and other controls without needing a mouse. We also provide skip links to help users bypass repetitive content.
Alternative Text for Images
All images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt text) that conveys the content and function of the image to users of screen readers. Decorative images are given null alt attributes (alt="") to prevent screen readers from announcing them.
Color Contrast
We have carefully selected color palettes that provide sufficient contrast between text and background colors. This helps users with low vision to read the content more easily. We have tested our color combinations using accessibility checkers to ensure they meet WCAG guidelines.
Clear and Consistent Navigation
Our website features a clear and consistent navigation structure that makes it easy for users to find the information they need. We use descriptive link text and provide breadcrumbs to help users understand their location within the site.
Form Accessibility
All forms on our website are designed with accessibility in mind. We provide clear labels for form fields, use ARIA attributes to enhance accessibility, and ensure that form errors are displayed in an accessible manner. We also provide instructions and examples to help users fill out forms correctly.
ARIA Attributes
We use Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) attributes to provide additional semantic information to assistive technologies. ARIA attributes help to define the roles, states, and properties of interactive elements, making it easier for users with disabilities to understand and interact with the content.
Text Resizing
Users can easily resize the text on our website using their browser settings without losing content or functionality. We have designed our website to be responsive, ensuring that it adapts to different screen sizes and resolutions.
