Accessibility

At VerdeX, we are committed to ensuring that our website and platform are accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We strive to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We believe that digital accessibility is a fundamental right, not a luxury. Our goal is to create an inclusive experience that accommodates the diverse needs of all our users, regardless of ability or technology.

We are continuously working to improve the accessibility and usability of our platform to ensure that all users, including those with disabilities, can effectively access and interact with our services.

Accessibility Features

Our website includes the following accessibility features:

• Keyboard Navigation: All functionality is operable through a keyboard interface for users who cannot use a mouse.
• Text Alternatives: We provide text alternatives for non-text content to ensure it can be changed into other forms people need, such as large print, braille, speech, or simpler language.
• Responsive Design: Our website is designed to be responsive and adjust to different screen sizes and devices.
• Color Contrast: We maintain sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds to ensure readability.
• Focus Indicators: Visible focus indicators help keyboard users navigate the website.
• Semantic HTML: We use proper HTML markup to improve the structure and meaning of our content.
• ARIA Landmarks: ARIA landmarks help screen reader users navigate the website more efficiently.

Compatibility with Assistive Technologies

Our platform is designed to be compatible with various assistive technologies, including:

• Screen readers (such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack)
• Screen magnification software
• Speech recognition software
• Alternative keyboard and mouse input devices

Known Accessibility Issues

While we strive to make our platform fully accessible, we acknowledge that there may be areas that need improvement. We are actively working to identify and address any accessibility issues.

Some known issues that we are currently working to resolve:

• Some interactive charts and data visualizations may not be fully accessible to screen reader users. We are working on providing alternative text-based representations of this data.
• Some dynamic content updates may not be properly announced to screen reader users. We are implementing ARIA live regions to address this issue.
