Making the Web Work for Everyone
We believe the internet should be accessible to everyone, regardless of ability. Our commitment to digital accessibility ensures that all visitors can navigate, understand, and interact with our website effectively.
Our Accessibility Principles
The POUR Framework Guides Everything We Build
Perceivable
Content must be easy to see, hear, or otherwise perceive. We provide text alternatives for images, captions for videos, and ensure sufficient color contrast so everyone can access information in the format that works best for them.
Operable
Everyone should be able to navigate and interact with our site using keyboard commands, voice controls, or assistive technologies. We design with flexibility in mind, ensuring no single input method is required.
Understandable
Clear language, consistent navigation, and predictable functionality help all users comprehend and use our services. We avoid jargon, provide helpful error messages, and maintain logical information architecture throughout.
Robust
Our website works seamlessly across devices, browsers, and assistive tools—today and in the future. We build with standards-compliant code that adapts to evolving technologies and user needs.
How We Design for Accessibility
Our design process prioritizes inclusive practices from the very beginning. Every feature, color choice, and interaction is carefully crafted to ensure everyone can access and enjoy our digital experiences.
01
High Contrast Color Schemes
We exceed WCAG minimums with color contrast ratios of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Our purple theme (#876cd4ff) is tested extensively with tools like AudioEye's contrast checker to ensure readability for users with visual impairments.
02
Meaningful Alternative Text
All images include descriptive alt text that conveys meaning and context. Screen readers can accurately describe visual content, ensuring blind and low-vision users never miss important information.
03
Keyboard-Friendly Navigation
Every interactive element is accessible via keyboard with visible focus indicators. Inspired by best practices from sites like BBC News, users can tab through menus, links, and forms without touching a mouse.
04
Clear Interactive Labels
Forms and buttons feature descriptive labels that tell assistive technologies exactly what each element does. No confusion, no guesswork—just clear, helpful guidance.
05
Motion Control Options
Users can pause, stop, or hide moving content to prevent seizures, reduce cognitive overload, and maintain focus on what matters most to them.
