Conformance status

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. Open Tech Academy 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.

To make our websites easier to use, we implement the following features:

  • Semantic HTML: We use appropriate HTML5 semantic tags (like headers, main, nav, and articles) to support screen readers and navigation.
  • Keyboard Navigation: All primary interactive components, menus, and forms can be navigated and operated using a keyboard.
  • Focus Indicators: Clearly visible focus outlines are provided for keyboard users.
  • Text Contrast: We aim for high-contrast ratios between text and background colors to improve legibility.
  • Alt Text: We provide descriptive alternative text for all critical images.
