Accessibility Statement
Measures taken
Include accessibility throughout our internal policies and access to services or resources.
Web Content Accessibility Status
We are dedicated to providing an inclusive online experience for all visitors. To ensure accessibility, we follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. These guidelines provide a comprehensive framework to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. We continually work to enhance the user experience and remove barriers that may prevent equal access.
To support this commitment, we partnered with Pedal Point Solutions, a web accessibility consulting agency led by professionals with lived disability experience, to ensure that accessibility is integrated into the design, development, and evaluation of our website.
Features
Here are some of the key features and practices we have implemented to make our website more accessible:
1. Keyboard Navigation: We ensure that users can navigate the entire site using only a keyboard without the need for a mouse.
2. Consistent Navigation: We keep navigation menus consistent across the site and provide skip links to help users jump directly to the main content.
3. Clear and Consistent Layout: We use a predictable layout and design to help users find information more easily.
4. Streamlined Tab Order: We organize interactive elements to avoid duplicate links and support a logical, efficient tabbing experience.
5. Meaningful Focus and Reading Order: We arrange content and focus order to match a logical visual and reading sequence, so users experience the page in a coherent way with or without assistive technology.
6. Visible Focus States: We display a clear visual indicator when users navigate with a keyboard so they always know where they are on the page.
7. Semantic HTML: Our pages use semantic HTML to accurately communicate the structure and layout of pages to screen readers and other assistive technologies.
8. Descriptive Button and Link Text: We write button and link text that clearly describes the purpose or destination of each button and link.
9. Readable Text and Fonts: We use clear and readable fonts, maintain proper contrast between text and background, and employ generous letter, word, and line spacing to ensure readability for all users.
10. Language Attributes: Pages define their language in code to support accurate screen reader processing and pronunciation.
11. Responsive Design: We build layouts that adapt to different screen sizes and devices while maintaining full functionality.
12. Resizable Text: We allow users to zoom in or resize text without losing functionality or readability.
13. Inclusive Content: We design headings, fonts, and text spacing to be clear, readable, and accessible to a wide range of users.
14. Good Color Contrast: We choose foreground and background colors as well as colors for adjacent elements that meet minimum contrast standards for readability.
Modification of This Statement
We reserve the right to modify or amend this accessibility statement at any time. Changes will be reflected on this page with the date of the last update.
Limitations and Disclaimer
This accessibility statement is not a legal document. Instead, it reflects our ongoing commitment to creating and maintaining an inclusive digital experience for all users.
Because web technologies, content, and individual user needs continue to evolve, we cannot guarantee that every part of our website will be fully accessible to every user at all times. However, we are dedicated to identifying and addressing accessibility issues as they arise and strive to make our site as inclusive and usable as possible.
