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 2.2 (WCAG 2.2) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities.
Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you wish to contact the website’s owner, please use the website’s contact form.
Screen-reader and Keyboard Navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers can read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively.
1. Screen-reader Optimization
We run a process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example:
- Accurate form labels and descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.)
- Validation guidance for form inputs
- Element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others
- Automatic ALT text generation for images using image-object-recognition and OCR technology
- Screen-reader adjustments activated via Alt+1
- Automatic announcements to turn on Screen-reader mode upon entry
These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
2. Keyboard Navigation Optimization
The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes:
- Navigation using Tab and Shift+Tab keys
- Dropdown operation using arrow keys, Esc to close
- Triggering buttons and links using Enter key
- Radio and checkbox navigation using arrow keys and selection using Spacebar or Enter
- Content-skip menus via Alt+2
- Focus management for popups
- Shortcuts: “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), “G” (graphics)
