Accessibility Features

  • Accessibility toolbar: Available on every page — use the toolbar at the top right to adjust text size, enable high contrast, greyscale mode, or underline all links.
  • Skip to main content: A "Skip to main content" link appears when you focus with a keyboard (Tab key), allowing you to bypass repetitive navigation.

  • ARIA attributes: Semantic ARIA landmarks and labels assist screen readers in understanding page structure.
  • Alt text: All meaningful images include descriptive alternative text.
  • Focus indicators: A clearly visible gold outline (3px) appears on focused elements.

  • Responsive design: The website is fully functional on mobile, tablet and desktop devices.
  • Language: The page language is declared in HTML to assist screen readers.
