Accessibility on GrowingIL Website
We strive to make the GrowingIL website accessible to individuals with disabilities. Here's how we achieve that goal:
-
Standards compliance: We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 level AA to ensure our website is accessible. These guidelines are internationally recognized and provide a framework for making web content more accessible for people with disabilities.
-
Screen reader compatibility: We have designed our website to be compatible with screen reader software, enabling people with visual impairments to access and navigate the content effectively.
-
Keyboard navigation: Our website supports keyboard navigation, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to navigate through the site using only the keyboard.
-
Clear and concise content: We strive to present information on our website in a clear and concise manner, ensuring that it is easily understandable by all users, including those with cognitive disabilities.
-
Alternative text: We provide alternative text descriptions (alt text) for all meaningful images on our website. This ensures that users who rely on screen readers or have images disabled can understand the content.
-
Color contrast: We have carefully selected color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between the text and background, making the content readable for users with visual impairments.
