At Ubuntu Businesses, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all, and applying the relevant accessibility standards. This statement describes our ongoing efforts to provide an inclusive and accessible online experience.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Ubuntu Businesses is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.
Our website is designed to be navigable using a keyboard alone. Users can tab through interactive elements, activate buttons and links using the Enter key, and navigate dropdown menus with arrow keys. We have ensured that the focus order is logical and intuitive.
We strive to ensure that our website is compatible with screen reader software. We use semantic HTML to provide structure and context to content, and we provide alternative text for all images. ARIA attributes are used where necessary to enhance the screen reader experience.
Users can adjust the text size on our website using their browser settings. We have designed the site to be responsive to changes in text size, ensuring that content remains readable and usable.
We have carefully selected color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background. This helps users with low vision to easily read and understand the content on our site. Our color palette prioritizes readability and accessibility.
All images on our website have alternative text descriptions. These descriptions provide context and meaning for users who cannot see the images. Our alternative text is concise and accurately describes the content of the image.
Where applicable, we provide captions and transcripts for video content. This ensures that users who are deaf or hard of hearing can access the information presented in our videos.
