Commitment to Accessibility
Adherence to Guidelines
To fulfill this commitment, we adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with these guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all individuals, including those who are blind, have motor impairments, visual impairments, cognitive disabilities, and more.
Accessibility Features
Our website utilizes various technologies to make it as accessible as possible at all times:
1. Accessibility Interface:
Allows users with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s user interface (UI) and design to their personal needs.
2. AI-based Application:
Runs in the background and optimizes the website’s accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML and adapts its functionality and behavior for screen-readers and keyboard functions.

Screen-Reader and Keyboard Navigation
1. Screen-Reader Optimization:
A background process runs continuously to learn the website’s components, ensuring ongoing compliance even when updating the website. This process provides screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels, descriptions for actionable icons, validation guidance for form inputs, and element roles.
2. Keyboard Navigation Optimization:
The background process adjusts the website’s HTML and adds behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key. Additionally, keyboard users will find quick navigation and content-skip menus available at any time by clicking Alt+1 or as the first element of the site while navigating with the keyboard.
