Accessibility Features Overview
Semantic HTML
We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content, making it easier for assistive technologies to understand and navigate. This includes using appropriate headings, lists, and other structural elements.
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 who cannot see them. Our alt text is concise, informative, and contextually relevant.
Keyboard Navigation
Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard. Users can access all interactive elements and content using the Tab key, arrow keys, and other keyboard commands.
Color Contrast
We have carefully selected color combinations that provide sufficient contrast between text and background, ensuring readability for users with low vision or color blindness. Our color palette adheres to WCAG guidelines for contrast ratios.
Resizable Text
Users can easily resize the text on our website using their browser's zoom functionality. Our design is responsive and adapts to different screen sizes and text sizes without loss of content or functionality.
Clear and Consistent Navigation
Our website features a clear and consistent navigation structure, making it easy for users to find the information they need. Our navigation menus are well-organized and labeled, and we provide breadcrumbs to help users understand their location within the site.
Forms
All forms on our website are designed with accessibility in mind. We provide clear labels and instructions for each form field, and we use ARIA attributes to enhance the accessibility of complex form elements. Error messages are clear and informative, helping users to correct their mistakes.
Video Captions and Transcripts
We provide captions and transcripts for all video content on our website, making it accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing. Our captions are accurate and synchronized with the audio, and our transcripts are comprehensive and easy to read.
Skip Navigation Link
A "Skip to main content" link is provided at the top of each page, allowing keyboard users to bypass repetitive navigation elements and jump directly to the main content of the page. This link is visually hidden until it receives focus, ensuring that it does not clutter the visual design of the page.
Dark Theme Toggle
We provide a dark theme option to enhance readability for users who are sensitive to bright light or prefer a high-contrast display. The dark theme can be easily toggled on and off using the theme toggle button in the navigation menu.
ARIA Attributes
We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies, enhancing the accessibility of dynamic content and complex user interface elements. Our ARIA attributes are used judiciously and in accordance with best practices.

Our website is tested with a variety of screen readers to ensure compatibility and usability. We regularly review and update our code to address any issues that may arise.
