Our goal is to provide a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.

Our Commitment

We strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, as these guidelines cover a wide range of recommendations for making web content more accessible. Following these guidelines helps make the web more user-friendly for people with disabilities. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Ensuring that content is presented in a way that is easy to see and hear.
• Making our website easy to navigate using a keyboard.
• Avoiding the use of content that could cause seizures.
• Providing ways for users to easily find content.

Assistive Technologies and Website Features

Our website is designed to be compatible with various assistive technologies, including screen readers, screen magnifiers, and speech recognition software. We have implemented several features to enhance accessibility:

• Alternative Text: All images have descriptive alternative text so users who cannot see them can understand their purpose.
• Keyboard Navigation: The entire website can be navigated using a keyboard, providing access to all features and content.
• Clear Structure: We use headings, lists, and other structural elements to organize content and make it easier to understand.
• Color Contrast: We have ensured that there is sufficient contrast between text and background colors to make content easier to read.
• Resizable Text: Users can increase the text size without losing content or functionality.
• Forms and Labels: All form fields are properly labeled to provide clear instructions and descriptions.
