OUR ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
3/17/2023
Introduction
We understand that the Internet should be accessible to anyone and we’re committed to maintaining standards that enable accessibility for everyone, in spite of their situation or ability.
In line with our vision to make the web accessible for everyone, we strive to maintain the best possible accessibility standards by using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) level AA success criteria as our model.
The WCAG is a set of guidelines that were established by the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative, that describes how to make all web content accessible to a broad range of people with disabilities.
We use a web accessibility interface that helps people with disabilities to adjust our website's UI and design to meet their specific needs.
Disclaimer
We aim to provide the highest standards of accessibility on our website because we understand the moral and practical importance of being compliant with the WCAG 2.1 AA standards. We perform regular scans to identify and fix any accessibility issues that may arise despite our best efforts to uphold the highest possible accessibility standards on our website. You may find that there may be some pages or components of our website that may fall short of accessibility standards. This may be because we have not yet identified or are currently in the process of identifying the best possible solution for such a problem.
Accessibility Assistant
To enable the accessibility assistant on our website Navigate to the accessibility icon at the corner of the page and click it. The menu will appear. You can then interact with the icons and options to suit your specific needs.
We are able to make websites accessible to people with disabilities by providing specialized profiles through the Accessibility Assistant. The disability profiles supported on our website are:
- Blind (screen reader/braille): This profile enables people who are blind to use the website by eliminating non-essential elements from the accessibility tree. It also adjusts the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver.
- Vision Impaired Profile: This profile adjusts the website so that it is accessible to people who have visual impairments by making the onscreen features more prominent and easy to read. It helps people with Glaucoma, age-related eyesight degradation, etc.
- Seizure secure: This profile provides various assistive features to help users with seizure disorders, including pausing/stopping all animations, flashes, and multimedia.
- Motor Impaired: This profile significantly reduces the hassle involved in navigating a website with a keyboard. Your customers can easily use the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys to access website elements.
- Focus (ADHD): This profile reduces distractions and noise, so people with ADHD and neurodevelopmental disorders can browse, read, and focus on the essential elements of a website.
- Dyslexia: This profile makes it easier for people with learning difficulties like Dyslexia so they can easily understand the content of web pages.
Other adjustable settings are:
- Color Contrast: This allows you to alter the website's display settings. You can display without colors/monochrome, increase contrast, reverse colors, and change the color pattern.
- Text Size: Adjust the size of onscreen text to optimize it according to your preferences.
- Highlighting: Underline links and headers, and highlight image titles.
- Zoom: Control screen zoom. Choose to use the big white cursor or the black cursor.
Support for Assistive Technology
We use modern methods such as semantic HTML and ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to ensure that our website is accessible to user agents (browsers, assistive technology, etc.)
We strive to provide support for user agents (browsers, extensions, and assistive technologies) so that our customers can choose suitable tools with little or no limitations. We have support for the major user agents in the market, such as Google Chrome, Apple Safari, and Opera. Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, JAWS, ORCA, and NVDA.
We routinely run background checks to ensure our website's HTML and JavaScript codes are up to date and allow for optimal use by keyboard customers.

- Blindness.
- Visual impairments.
- Seizure disorders.
- Dyslexia.
- Motor impairments (Keyboard navigation support).
