1. Our Commitment
Skautik is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people of all abilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to all of our users.
We believe that the web should be available to everyone, and we are dedicated to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.
2. Accessibility Standards
Skautik aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.
Conformance with these guidelines helps make the web more user-friendly for everyone. While we strive to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website. We are continually seeking out solutions that will bring all areas of the site up to the same level of accessibility.
3. Accessibility Features
We have taken the following measures to ensure the accessibility of our website:
- Keyboard Navigation: All functionality is available using a keyboard. Users can navigate through interactive elements using the Tab key and activate them using Enter or Space.
- Screen Reader Compatibility: Our website is designed to be compatible with popular screen readers. We use semantic HTML, ARIA labels, and landmarks to provide meaningful structure and context.
- Color Contrast: We maintain sufficient color contrast ratios between text and background colors to ensure readability for users with low vision or color vision deficiencies.
