Accessibility Statement
We believe that accessibility is more than just compliance and inclusive web design; it is a core value that we consider in all of our activities. In line with our mission for a truly inclusive internet, our team is committed to providing the best possible experience for all users.
As an active part of the A11Y community, we understand that this area is constantly evolving and we are always learning. Our work exceeds the threshold of basic compliance and focuses on creating structured content that integrates with further technologies, such as AI, voice assistants, and audio-spoken applications, to provide an improved user experience.
We approach accessibility with passion and work closely with our stakeholders and partners to develop tailored solutions that address truly unique challenges. Additionally, we are continuously developing our own internal understanding of web accessibility and inclusive design best practices through ongoing education, user testing, and feedback.
Accessibility Compliance
This website is developed to meet W3C standards, ensuring it aligns with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Our goal is to achieve 'AA' compliance, striving to fulfill 'AAA' standards wherever feasible to enhance accessibility for all users.
Americans with Disabilities Act

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) requires essential services and products, including digital content, to be accessible across EU member states, promoting equal access for people with disabilities.
Accessibility Standards
We incorporate new methods and best practices to ensure that our website is accessible. There are a number of steps we have taken to address accessibility needs that are detailed below.
Website Layout
Our website employs Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to ensure that all presentation and layout elements are logically structured for accessibility.
Fonts
We prioritize readability through accessible font choices and weights, which emphasize information hierarchy. Additionally, text size is adjustable via browser zoom controls to accommodate different visual needs.
Images
All images include alternative text, enhancing accessibility for visually impaired users.
Content
Our content is designed to be universally accessible:
- Semantic HTML is used to structure content logically for screen readers.
- Links feature descriptive text to enhance understandability.
- Language is straightforward and easy to comprehend.
Colors
We carefully select colors and contrasts to support users with visual impairments and avoid reliance on color for information conveyance, aiding colorblind users.
- Ensuring that our website does not rely on color alone to convey meaning in order to aid accessibility for colorblind users.
- Using colors and contrasts that are more accessible to users with visual impairments.
Navigation
Our navigation is intuitive, supporting keyboard-only interaction and employing ARIA attributes to enhance element descriptions for assistive technologies.
- Providing clear and consistent navigation to make it easy for users to find what they need.
- Using ARIA attributes to provide additional information about elements for assistive technology.
- Ensuring that users can interact with our website using only a keyboard for users who may not be able to use a mouse or trackpad.
Artificial Intelligence
We use AI to provide additional options and functionality for users to access and consume content in diverse ways, including through video, audio, and one-click support.
Non Accessibile Content
Although we work hard to make our website as accessible as possible, this is an ongoing mission, and some parts or content might not be as easily accessed as others.
