Our Accessibility Efforts

NovaTech Academy takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of our website:

  • Using semantic HTML to structure content in a meaningful way.
  • Providing alternative text for all images to convey their meaning to users who cannot see them.
  • Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and background for readability.
  • Making our website navigable using only a keyboard.
  • Designing forms that are accessible to screen reader users.
  • Providing transcripts and captions for video content.
  • Using ARIA attributes to enhance the accessibility of complex interactive elements.
  • Regularly testing our website with assistive technologies.

Specific Accessibility Features Implemented

  • Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements are fully navigable using the keyboard, including links, buttons, and form fields. Tab order is logical and intuitive.
  • Screen Reader Compatibility: We have tested our website with popular screen readers such as JAWS and NVDA to ensure compatibility. ARIA attributes are used to provide additional context and information to screen reader users.
  • Color Contrast: We have carefully selected color palettes that provide sufficient contrast between text and background colors to meet WCAG AA standards.
  • Alternative Text: All images have descriptive alternative text that accurately conveys their content and purpose. Decorative images are marked as such to be ignored by screen readers.
  • Resizable Text: Users can easily resize the text on our website without loss of content or functionality.
  • Clear and Consistent Navigation: Our website has a clear and consistent navigation structure that makes it easy for users to find what they are looking for.
  • Forms Accessibility: All form fields are properly labeled and accessible to screen reader users. Error messages are clear and informative.
  • Video Captions and Transcripts: All video content includes accurate captions and transcripts to provide access to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
  • Skip Navigation Link: A "Skip to main content" link is provided at the top of each page to allow users to bypass repetitive navigation elements.

Ongoing Accessibility Improvements

We conduct regular audits and testing with assistive technologies to identify and address any accessibility issues.
