2. Accessibility Features

We have implemented a range of accessibility features to enhance the user experience for individuals with disabilities. These features include, but are not limited to:

  • Keyboard Navigation: Our platform is designed to be navigable using keyboard controls, allowing users to browse and interact without a mouse.

  • Screen Reader Compatibility: We strive to provide screen reader compatibility and offer alt text for images, labels for form fields, and semantic HTML to enhance screen reader interpretation.

Our commitment to accessibility aligns with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), an internationally recognized set of guidelines for creating accessible web content. We strive to meet the WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, which include criteria related to perceivability, operability, and understandability.

Some of the key areas covered by WCAG include:

  • Text Alternatives: Providing text alternatives for non-text content, such as images and multimedia, to ensure that screen readers can convey the information.

  • Keyboard Accessibility: Ensuring that all functionality is accessible via a keyboard and that keyboard users can navigate and interact effectively.

  • Content Structure: Using proper HTML markup and document structure to help users understand the content and navigate efficiently.

  • Color and Contrast: Maintaining sufficient color contrast to make content readable and distinguishable.

  • Form Accessibility: Creating accessible forms with proper labels, error identification, and input assistance.

4. Accessibility Challenges

While we are committed to accessibility, we recognize that there may still be some accessibility challenges on our platform. Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we are continuously working to identify and address these challenges. Some challenges may include:

  • Compatibility with all assistive technologies.
  • The accessibility of third-party content and services linked from our platform.
