WEBSITE ACCESSIBILITY POLICY
Compliance Status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to everyone 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 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) 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 impairments, 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.

Screen-Reader and Keyboard Navigation
Our website implements ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) 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 the site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate the site effectively.
Screen-Reader Optimization:
We run a process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom to ensure ongoing compliance, even when updates are made. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide:
• Accurate form labels
• 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
Additionally, the background process scans all website images and provides accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based descriptions as ALT (alternate text) tags for images that are not described. It also extracts texts embedded within images using OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-Reader Mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
Keyboard Navigation Optimization:
The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by keyboard. This includes:
✔ Navigating using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys
✔ Operating dropdowns with the arrow keys and closing them with Esc
✔ Triggering buttons and links using the Enter key
✔ Navigating between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys and selecting them with Spacebar or Enter
Additionally, keyboard users will find content-skip menus available at any time by clicking Alt+2, or as the first element of the site while navigating with the keyboard.
The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus toward them as soon as they appear, preventing focus from drifting outside.
Users can also use shortcuts such as:
• M (menus)
• H (headings)
• F (forms)
• B (buttons)
• G (graphics)
