Last updated: December 2024

Our Commitment

Vectencia Ltd. is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to all users.

Conformance Status

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and more user-friendly for everyone.

Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following accessibility features on this website:

  • Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements are accessible via keyboard, allowing users to navigate without a mouse.
  • Skip Links: A skip-to-content link is available to bypass repetitive navigation and jump directly to main content.
  • Screen Reader Compatibility: We use semantic HTML and ARIA attributes to ensure compatibility with assistive technologies.
  • Text-to-Speech: Blog articles include a built-in text-to-speech player with adjustable speed, voice selection, and visual highlighting of the current paragraph.
  • Reduced Motion: Animations are automatically reduced or disabled for users who have enabled the "reduce motion" preference in their operating system.
  • Color Contrast: Text and interactive elements meet WCAG 2.2 AA contrast requirements for readability.
  • Alternative Text: All meaningful images include descriptive alternative text for screen reader users.
  • Focus Indicators: Visible focus indicators are provided for all interactive elements to aid keyboard navigation.
  • Semantic Structure: Proper heading hierarchy and landmark regions help users understand and navigate page content.

Technologies Used

This website is built with accessibility in mind using:

  • Semantic HTML5
  • WAI-ARIA (Web Accessibility Initiative - Accessible Rich Internet Applications)
  • Next.js with server-side rendering for improved accessibility
  • Tailwind CSS with accessibility-focused utility classes
  • Web Speech API for text-to-speech functionality

Testing

We regularly test our website for accessibility using:

Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some content may have limitations:

  • Third-party embedded content (such as Disqus comments) may not fully meet our accessibility standards.
