Our Commitment to Inclusive Web Access

Our Commitment to Accessibility

At Interview Success Academy, we are dedicated to providing a website that is accessible to everyone, regardless of technology or ability. We believe that everyone should have equal access to our online resources and services, allowing them to enhance their interview skills and achieve their career goals. We are committed to adhering to accessibility standards and continuously improving the user experience for all individuals.

We strive to make our website compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA. These guidelines outline how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. We are continually working to ensure that our website meets or exceeds these standards.

Accessibility Features

To ensure an inclusive experience, we have implemented the following accessibility features:

Keyboard Navigation

Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard. Users can navigate through links, forms, and other interactive elements using the Tab key. The Shift+Tab keys can be used to navigate backwards. We ensure that all interactive elements have a clear and visible focus indicator to help users understand their current position on the page.

Screen Reader Compatibility

We have optimized our website to be compatible with screen reader software. This includes providing alternative text descriptions for images, using appropriate heading structures, and ensuring that content is organized in a logical and predictable manner. We regularly test our website with popular screen readers to identify and address any compatibility issues. ARIA attributes are used to enhance the experience for screen reader users.

Color Contrast

We have carefully selected color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background. This helps users with low vision or color blindness to easily read and understand the content on our website. We continuously monitor color contrast ratios to maintain optimal readability.

Alternative Text for Images

All images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt text). This text provides a description of the image for users who are unable to see it. Alt text ensures that the content of the image is conveyed to screen reader users.

Clear and Consistent Navigation

We have designed our website with a clear and consistent navigation structure. This makes it easy for users to find the information they are looking for, regardless of their location on the site. A consistent navigation experience ensures predictability and reduces cognitive load.

Resizable Text

Users can easily increase or decrease the text size on our website using their browser settings. This allows individuals with low vision to customize the text size to their preference.

Forms and Labels

All form fields on our website are properly labeled. Labels are associated with their corresponding input fields, making it easy for screen reader users to understand the purpose of each field. Clear instructions and error messages are provided to assist users in completing forms accurately.

Semantic HTML

We use semantic HTML5 elements to structure our content. This includes elements like <header>, <nav>, <main>, <article>, <aside>, and <footer>. Using semantic HTML helps screen readers and other assistive technologies to understand the structure and meaning of our content.

Consistent Styling and Layout

We maintain a consistent visual style and layout throughout our website. This helps users to predict the location of elements and understand how the site works. Consistency improves usability and reduces cognitive load.

Use of ARIA Attributes

We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to provide additional information to assistive technologies. ARIA attributes can be used to describe the role, state, and properties of elements on a webpage. This helps to improve the accessibility of complex widgets and interactive elements.

Skip Navigation Link

We provide a "Skip to Content" link at the top of each page. This allows keyboard users to bypass the navigation menu and jump directly to the main content of the page. This is particularly helpful for users who use screen readers or keyboard navigation.

Ongoing Efforts

We are committed to continuously improving the accessibility of our website. We regularly conduct accessibility audits and user testing to identify areas for improvement. We also stay up-to-date with the latest accessibility standards and best practices.

Our ongoing efforts include:

  • Regularly reviewing and updating our website content to ensure it meets accessibility standards.
  • Providing accessibility training to our staff.
