Specific Accessibility Features
Keyboard Navigation
Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard. You can use the Tab key to move between interactive elements such as links and form fields. Shift+Tab can be used to navigate backwards. We have ensured that the focus order is logical and intuitive.
Screen Reader Compatibility
We have implemented semantic HTML to ensure our website is compatible with screen readers such as NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver. Alternative text is provided for all images, and ARIA attributes are used to enhance the accessibility of complex widgets and interactive elements. Our website's content is structured in a way that allows screen reader users to easily understand the hierarchy and relationships between different elements.
Color Contrast
We have carefully selected color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background colors. This helps users with low vision to easily read the content on our website. We have tested our website using automated tools and manual reviews to verify that it meets the WCAG 2.1 AA color contrast requirements. For example, the contrast ratio between the text color and the background color in the main content area is 4.5:1 or higher.
Text Resizing
Users can easily resize the text on our website using their browser settings. The website's layout is designed to adapt to different text sizes without losing usability. To resize text, use the following browser shortcuts:
- Windows: Ctrl + Plus (+) to zoom in, Ctrl + Minus (-) to zoom out, Ctrl + 0 to reset zoom
- Mac: Cmd + Plus (+) to zoom in, Cmd + Minus (-) to zoom out, Cmd + 0 to reset zoom
Images
All images on our website include alternative text descriptions (alt attributes) that provide meaningful information about the image content. This helps users who are unable to see the images to understand their purpose and context.
Forms
All forms on our website are designed to be accessible. We use labels to clearly identify each form field, and provide instructions and error messages to help users complete the forms successfully. We also use ARIA attributes to enhance the accessibility of form elements for screen reader users.
Video and Audio Content
We strive to provide captions and transcripts for all video and audio content on our website. This helps users who are deaf or hard of hearing to access the information presented in multimedia formats. We are currently working on adding captions to all existing videos, and will ensure that all new videos are captioned.
Consistent Navigation
Our website features a consistent and predictable navigation structure. The main navigation menu is located at the top of each page, and provides easy access to the most important sections of the website. We also provide breadcrumb navigation to help users understand their current location within the site.
Website Structure
We utilize clear headings and subheadings to structure the content on our website. This helps users to easily scan the page and find the information they are looking for. We also use lists and other formatting elements to improve the readability of the content.
