Clear and Consistent Structure: We use clear headings, lists, and other structural elements to organize content logically and make it easier to understand and navigate.
Sufficient Color Contrast: We ensure sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to make content readable for users with low vision or color blindness.
Resizable Text: Users can easily adjust the text size using their browser settings to accommodate their individual needs.
Forms Accessibility: All forms are designed to be accessible, with clear labels, instructions, and error messages.
Video Captions and Transcripts: We provide captions and transcripts for all video content to make it accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and interactive elements, providing additional information to assistive technologies.
Dark Mode Support: Users can toggle between light and dark mode for improved readability based on personal preference and environmental conditions.
Focus Indicators: Clear focus indicators are provided for interactive elements to help keyboard users understand where they are on the page.
