Accessibility Statement

Compliance Status

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the broadest possible audience, regardless of ability.

To fulfill this, we aim to 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. Complying with these guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

Screen-Reader and Keyboard Navigation

Our website implements ARIA attributes alongside various behavioral changes to ensure blind users can effectively navigate the site.

  • Screen-reader optimization: We run a background process that learns the website’s components to ensure ongoing compliance. We provide accurate form labels, descriptions for actionable icons, and validation guidance for inputs.
  • Image Handling: Our AI scans all images to provide accurate ALT tags using object recognition and OCR for embedded text.
  • Keyboard navigation: Users can navigate using Tab / Shift+Tab, operate dropdowns with arrow keys, and trigger buttons with Enter. Shortcuts like “M” (menus) and “H” (headings) are also supported.

Supported Disability Profiles

  • Epilepsy Safe: Eliminates the risk of seizures by removing flashing animations and risky color combos.
  • Vision Impaired: Adjusts the UI for users with degrading eyesight, glaucoma, or cataracts.
  • Cognitive Disability: Assistive features to help users with Autism or Dyslexia focus on essential elements.
  • ADHD Friendly: Reduces distractions and noise to improve focus.

Design and Readability Adjustments

  • Font & Color: Users can adjust font size, type, spacing, and contrast (light, dark, inverted, or monochrome).
  • Animations: Epileptic users can stop all running GIFs and CSS transitions.
  • Content Highlighting: Options to emphasize links, titles, or focused elements.
  • Audio Control: Instant muting for users with hearing devices to prevent interference.
