Web Accessibility
WebXL is committed to providing equal opportunities for people with disabilities. To this end, we have made an effort to comply with the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA.
Compliance with WCAG 2.1
All pages on this site are written in valid HTML5 code. Valid code ensures that assistive technologies (such as screen readers) can work correctly. The site is designed with high-contrast colors that allow for optimal use by people with low vision and color blindness. The content on the site is semantic. It contains headings, tables of information, lists, paragraphs, standard links, form controls, and descriptions for images that are meaningful.
There are some areas of content on frames that are displayed from other sites. These areas are defined with title attributes. However, their accessibility depends on the host site. For example, the Facebook area on the content pages.

The text size on the site can be changed using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl +
or by using the menu. 200% text size will display the site as it is displayed on mobile devices. The minimum recommended resolution for viewing the site is 980 pixels wide. It is worth noting that the site can also be viewed at a lower resolution.
The site is responsive, which means that it can be viewed on mobile devices. You can browse the site without CSS and get a worthy result. Dynamic information carousels can be paused and played using the keyboard or mouse.

ARIA is also used to help with complex applications such as information carousels on the main pages, drop-down menus, modals for displaying images, content accordions, and tabs.
The structure of all pages on the site is the same and includes the following units:
- Keyboard shortcut links

All menus are built using lists to allow for easy navigation.
All areas on the site pages are defined using headings and landmarks as mentioned.
Videos
Subtitles have been added to some of the videos, but not all. We are working to add subtitles to the audio content on the site.
The videos are displayed in HTML5 format to make it easier to use the keyboard.
