Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements ARIA attributes alongside various behavioral changes to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers can read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions.
Screen-reader optimization
We run a process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom to ensure ongoing compliance, even when updating the website.
These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
