Accessibility Statement
DigiSnap Academy is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide a user-friendly online experience that adheres to the highest accessibility standards. Our goal is to enable all users to easily navigate, understand, and interact with our content, regardless of their abilities or the technologies they use.
Our Commitment to WCAG Compliance
We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website and are committed to conforming to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines outline best practices for making web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, cognitive, motor, and speech impairments.
To achieve this, we have implemented several key accessibility features, including:
- Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content logically, making it easier for assistive technologies, such as screen readers, to interpret and present information to users.
- Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt text) that conveys the content and purpose of the image to users who cannot see it. This ensures that users with visual impairments can still understand the information presented through images.
- Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse or other pointing device to access all content and functionality.
- Color Contrast: We have carefully selected color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background, making it easier for users with low vision or color blindness to read and understand the content.
- 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 need.
- Resizable Text: Users can easily adjust the text size on our website using their browser settings, allowing them to customize the viewing experience to their individual needs.
- Form Accessibility: All forms on our website are designed with accessibility in mind, including clear labels, instructions, and error messages, making it easier for users to complete and submit forms.
- Video Captions and Transcripts: All videos on our website include captions and transcripts, making them accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
- ARIA Attributes: We utilize ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and interactive elements, providing additional information to assistive technologies.
