This accessibility statement applies to https://www.mktdirector.com. At MKTDIRECTOR, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience to meet and exceed accessibility standards.
Our Accessibility Commitment
We want as many people as possible to be able to use our website. For example, this means that users should be able to:
- Change colors, contrast levels, and fonts to accommodate visual preferences.
- Zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen.
- Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard.
- Navigate most of the website using speech recognition software.
- Listen to most of the website content using a screen reader (including the latest versions of JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver).
Additionally, we implement the following accessibility practices:
- All non-text content presented to users has appropriate text alternatives that convey equivalent information.
- The visual presentation of text and images meets or exceeds a contrast ratio of 4.5:1, ensuring that the content is legible for users with visual impairments.
- We strive to keep our website text as simple and easy to understand as possible, using clear and direct language.
Conformance Status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 define three levels of conformance: A, AA, and AAA. MKTDIRECTOR is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. This means that while we have made significant improvements, some content may not yet be fully accessible.
Accessibility Features of GeneratePress
Our website uses the GeneratePress WordPress theme, which is specifically designed with accessibility in mind. GeneratePress includes the following built-in accessibility features:
- Keyboard Navigation Support: GeneratePress ensures that all interactive elements, such as menus and links, can be easily navigated using only the keyboard, providing a smooth experience for users with limited mobility.
- ARIA Roles and Landmarks: The theme uses semantic HTML5 elements and ARIA roles to ensure that all structural and interactive elements are properly announced by assistive technologies.
- High Contrast Mode: GeneratePress follows best practices for contrast ratios, ensuring that all text elements have sufficient contrast against their backgrounds for better readability.
- Skip to Content Links: The theme includes skip links to allow users to bypass repetitive navigation elements and jump directly to the main content.
- Responsive and Mobile-First Design: The theme is fully responsive and designed to work seamlessly on all screen sizes, making it accessible on both mobile and desktop devices.
