We believe the internet should be available and accessible to everyone, and we are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with these guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairments, cognitive disabilities and more.
This website uses various technologies designed to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We use an accessibility interface that allows people with specific disabilities to adjust the website's UI and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website uses an AI-based application that runs in the background and continuously optimizes its accessibility level. This application remediates the website's HTML and adapts its functionality and behavior for screen readers used by blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you've found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we'll be happy to hear from you. You can reach the website's operators at the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various behavioral changes, to ensure that blind users visiting with screen readers can read, comprehend and enjoy the website's functions. As soon as a user with a screen reader enters the site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen Reader Profile so they can browse and operate the site effectively. Here's how our website covers some of the most important screen reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website's components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups) and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website's images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts embedded within the image, using OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen reader adjustments at any time, users need only press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen Reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: the background process also adjusts the website's HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key. Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by pressing Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus toward them as soon as they appear, and does not allow the focus to drift outside of them.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons) and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Seizure Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures resulting from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
Vision Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as degrading eyesight, tunnel vision, cataracts, glaucoma and others.
Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides various assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as dyslexia, autism, CVA and others focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and neurodevelopmental disorders read, browse and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
Blind Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver and TalkBack. A screen reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer or smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
Keyboard Navigation Profile (motor impaired): this profile enables people with motor disabilities to operate the website using the Tab, Shift+Tab and Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons) and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Font adjustments – users can increase and decrease the font size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height and more.
Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap the color schemes of titles, texts and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
Animations – users with epilepsy can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs and flashing CSS transitions.
Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight only focused or hovered elements.
Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playback. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
Cognitive disorders – we use a search engine linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher the meanings of phrases, initials, slang and more.
Additional functions – we give users the option to change the cursor color and size, use a print mode, enable a virtual keyboard and many other functions.
We aim to support the widest possible array of browsers and assistive technologies, so our users can choose the tools that best fit them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to support all major systems that make up over 95% of the user market share, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, and JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), for both Windows and Mac users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please contact us at
