Compatibility status

We believe that the Internet should be available and accessible to everyone, and provide an accessible website to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstances and ability.

To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (W3C) 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities. Compliance with these guidelines helps us ensure that the site is accessible to all people: the blind, people with motor disabilities, visual impairments, cognitive impairments, 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 adapt the site's user interface and design it for their personal needs.

In addition, the site uses an artificial intelligence-based application that runs in the background and continuously optimizes its level of accessibility. This application fixes the website's HTML, adapts its functionality and behavior to screen readers used by blind users, and keyboard functions used by people with motor impairments.

If you found a problem or have ideas for improvement, we'd love to hear from you. You can contact the website operators using the following email

Screen reader and navigation keyboard

Our site implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, along with various behavioral changes, to ensure that blind users visiting with screen readers can read, understand and enjoy the site's functions. As soon as a user with a screen reader enters the site, he is immediately prompted to enter the screen reader profile so that he can browse and operate the site efficiently. Here's how our site covers some of the most important requirements for a screen reader, along with console screenshots of code examples:

Optimizing screen readers: We run a background process that studies the site's components from top to bottom to ensure continued compatibility even when the site is updated. In this process, we provide screen readers with meaningful data using the ARIA feature set. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions of call-to-action icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); Validation guidelines for form input; Roles of elements such as buttons, menus, modal dialogs (pop-ups) and others. In addition, the background process scans all website images and provides an accurate and meaningful description based on image-object recognition as an ALT (alternative text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts embedded within the image, using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology. To enable screen reader adjustments at any time, users only need to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen reader users also receive automatic notifications to turn on screen reader mode as soon as they enter the site.

These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

Keyboard Navigation Optimization: The background process also adjusts the site's HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the site keyboard-friendly. This includes the ability to navigate the site using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, launch drop-down menus with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, launch buttons and links with the Enter key, navigate between radio elements and checkboxes with the arrow keys, and fill them with the spacebar or Enter. In addition, 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 to them as soon as they appear, not allowing the focus to drift out of it.

Users can also use shortcuts such as "M" (Menus), "H" (Headings), "F" (Forms), "B" (Buttons) and "G" (Graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Disability profiles are supported on our website

Epilepsy Safe Mode: This profile allows people with epilepsy to use the site safely by eliminating the risk of seizures caused by flickering or flashing animations and dangerous color combinations.

Visually impaired mode: This mode adjusts the site for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as low vision, tunnel vision, cataracts, glaucoma and more.

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 site elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.

Blind Mode: This mode sets the site 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 and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.

Keyboard navigation profile (motor impaired): This profile allows people with motor disabilities to activate the website using 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.

Additional adjustments of user interface, design and readability

Font adjustments - users can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height and more.

Color Adjustments - Users can select different color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverse and monochrome. In addition, users can change color schemes of headers, texts and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.

Animations - Epileptic users can stop all running animations with a button press. Interface-controlled animations include videos, GIF files, and flashing CSS transitions.

Content Highlighting - Users can choose to highlight important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight only focused or floating elements.

Audio Mute - Users with hearing aids may experience headaches or other problems due to automatic audio playback. This option allows users to mute the entire site instantly.

Cognitive disabilities - we use a search engine linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, which allows people with cognitive disabilities to decipher meanings of phrases, acronyms, slang and others.

Additional functions - we provide users with the option to change the color and size of the cursor, use print mode, activate a virtual keyboard and many other functions.

Browser compatibility and assistive technology

We aim to support the widest range of browsers and assistive technologies possible, so that our users can choose the tools that work best for them, with as few restrictions as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all the major systems that make up more than 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

Notes, comments and feedback

Despite our best efforts to allow everyone to adapt the site to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of being made accessible, or lack an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are constantly improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is aimed at reaching the optimal level of accessibility, following technological progress. For any help, please contact us

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, understand, and enjoy the website's functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your 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 that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users only need to 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 clicking 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 towards them as soon as they appear, and not allowing the focus to drift outside of it.

Users can also use shortcuts such as "M" (menus), "H" (headings), "F" (forms), "B" (buttons), and "G" (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
