Website Accessibility
Â鶹¹ÙÍø is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for users of all abilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone, and applying the relevant accessibility standards.
Accessibility Guidelines
We make every effort to follow the guidelines provided by World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) (WCAG 2.1) at the Double A standard. These accessibility guidelines help us work to make content accessible to a wide range of users. The colors, typography and structure of our website were built with accessibility in mind.
Accessibility relies on the following technologies to work with the particular combination of web browser and any assistive technologies or plugins installed on your computer:
- HTML
- WAI-ARIA
- CSS
- JavaScript
These technologies are relied upon for conformance with the accessibility standards used.
Accessibility features
The following points summarize the primary accessibility considerations that have been taken into account with our site’s design and development.

- Providing captions and alternatives for videos and other multimedia.
- Making it easier for users to see and hear content with appropriate color contrast and text size.
Operable

- Giving users time to read and use content.
- Avoiding content known to cause physical reactions, such as blinking or rapid transitions.

- Using human language in site content; avoiding indeterminate language.
