Accessibility Statement for Veridian Dynamics
At Veridian Dynamics, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that everyone should have equal access to information and services, regardless of their abilities. This accessibility statement outlines our ongoing efforts to provide an inclusive online experience.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, which provide guidelines for making web content more accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities. These guidelines address issues such as:
- Providing text alternatives for non-text content
- Ensuring sufficient color contrast
- Making website functionality operable through a keyboard
- Providing clear and consistent navigation
- Using semantic HTML to structure content logically
Our commitment to accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review and update our website to ensure it meets or exceeds the WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines. We also actively seek feedback from users to identify and address any accessibility barriers.
Accessibility Standards
We adhere to the following accessibility standards:
- WCAG 2.1 Level AA: We aim to meet all success criteria defined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. This includes guidelines for perceivability, operability, understandability, and robustness.
- ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications): We use ARIA attributes to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and interactive elements, providing assistive technologies with additional information about the role, state, and properties of these elements.
- Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content logically, making it easier for assistive technologies to interpret and present the information to users.
Assistive Technologies Supported
Our website is designed to be compatible with a variety of assistive technologies, including:
- Screen Readers: Our website is tested with popular screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver to ensure that content is read aloud accurately and in a logical order.
- Screen Magnifiers: Users can zoom in on our website content without loss of functionality or readability.
- Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements on our website can be accessed and operated using a keyboard, without requiring a mouse.
- Speech Recognition Software: Our website is designed to be compatible with speech recognition software, allowing users to navigate and interact with content using voice commands.
Specific Accessibility Measures Taken
To ensure our website meets the highest standards of accessibility, we have implemented the following measures:
- Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website have descriptive alternative text (alt text) that conveys the content and purpose of the image to users who cannot see it.
- Keyboard Navigation: We have ensured that all interactive elements, such as links, buttons, and form fields, can be accessed and operated using a keyboard.
- Color Contrast: We have carefully selected color combinations that provide sufficient contrast between text and background, making it easier for users with low vision to read the content.
- Form Labels: All form fields are clearly labeled with descriptive labels that are associated with the corresponding input elements, making it easier for users to understand the purpose of each field.
- Clear and Consistent Navigation: We have designed our website with a clear and consistent navigation structure, making it easy for users to find the information they are looking for.
- Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements, such as headings, paragraphs, lists, and tables, to structure our content logically and provide meaning to assistive technologies.
- Resizable Text: Users can increase the text size on our website without loss of content or functionality.
- Video Captions and Transcripts: All videos on our website include captions and transcripts, making the content accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
