Accessibility Statement

Web accessibility refers to the inclusive practice of removing barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to websites, by people with disabilities. When sites are correctly designed, developed, and edited, all users can have equal access to information and functionality.

What web accessibility is

We have designed our website in accordance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) [2.1 / 2.2 - select relevant option] to make it accessible for people with various disabilities. We have incorporated several features to enhance accessibility, including the use of alternative text for images, clear heading structures, and color combinations that meet the required color contrast. Our site is compatible with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard navigation, to ensure a seamless user experience for all visitors.
