  • Keyboard and alternative input devices
  • High contrast mode, etc.

  • Tablet
  • Smartphone

Support of WCAG 2.1 POUR Principles

This website supports the W3C WCAG POUR principles, which create the functional accessibility necessary for people with visual, auditory, mobility, and cognitive disabilities to access website content:

Perceivable

Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive. This means that users must be able to perceive the information being presented (it can’t be invisible to all their senses).

Operable

User interface components and navigation must be operable. This means that users must be able to operate the interface (the interface cannot require interaction that a user cannot perform).

Understandable

Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable. This means that users must be able to understand the information as well as the operation of the user interface (the content or operation cannot be beyond their understanding).

Robust

Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies. This means that users must be able to access the content as technologies advance (as technologies and user agents evolve, the content should remain accessible).
