• Color Contrast: We have ensured sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to meet WCAG guidelines, making it easier for users with low vision or color blindness to read content.
• Resizable Text: Users can easily resize text using their browser settings without losing content or functionality.
• Clear and Consistent Navigation: Our website features a clear and consistent navigation structure, making it easy for users to find the information they need.
