Accessibility Statement

Wokovuway is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all people, regardless of ability or circumstance.

Our Commitment

We believe that everyone deserves equal access to information about our mission and opportunities to support our work. We strive to ensure our website and digital communications are accessible to people with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities.

Accessibility Standards

Wokovuway endeavors to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and user-friendly for everyone. Our ongoing accessibility efforts include:

  • Providing alternative text descriptions for meaningful images
  • Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds
  • Designing for keyboard navigation and screen reader compatibility
  • Using semantic HTML structure with proper heading hierarchy
  • Ensuring content is understandable and predictable
  • Offering text alternatives for non-text content

Features for Accessibility

Keyboard Navigation

All interactive elements can be accessed using keyboard commands. Use Tab to navigate, Enter to activate, and Escape to close modals or drawers.

Readable Fonts

We use clear, sans-serif fonts with sufficient contrast ratios. Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of functionality.

Contrast & Clarity

Our color scheme is designed with high contrast to ensure text remains legible for users with low vision or color blindness.

Alternative Text

All meaningful images include descriptive alt text, allowing screen reader users to understand visual content.

Technical Specifications

Accessibility of this website relies on the following technologies to work with your browser or assistive technology:

  • HTML — Provides semantic structure and content hierarchy
  • CSS — Controls visual presentation and responsive layouts
  • JavaScript — Enhances interactive functionality while maintaining keyboard accessibility
  • WAI-ARIA — Improves accessibility of dynamic content and custom components

Our website is designed to be compatible with modern screen readers including NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver, and across all major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

Limitations and Ongoing Work

While we strive to maintain accessibility, some content may not yet be fully optimized. Known limitations include:

  • Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible
  • Embedded third-party content may have varying levels of accessibility
  • Complex data tables may require additional markup for screen reader clarity

We are actively working to address these areas. If you encounter any accessibility barriers, please let us know.
