Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Technology Consortium, LLC is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to all of our users.

We believe that everyone should be able to access our website and digital services regardless of ability. Our goal is to provide a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.

Conformance Status

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conforming to these guidelines helps make the web more accessible for all users.

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. Technology Consortium, LLC aims to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards.

Accessible Features of Our Website

We have implemented the following accessibility features on our website:

Semantic HTML

Our website uses semantic HTML markup throughout to provide meaningful structure to our content. This includes proper use of headings (h1-h6), landmarks, lists, and other semantic elements that help assistive technologies understand and navigate our content.

Keyboard Navigation

All interactive elements on our website can be accessed and operated using a keyboard. Users can navigate through the page using the Tab key and activate links and buttons using the Enter key. We have implemented skip links to allow keyboard users to bypass repetitive navigation and jump directly to the main content.

Alternative Text for Images

We provide descriptive alternative text for all informative images on our website. Decorative images use empty alt attributes to be ignored by screen readers. This ensures that users who cannot see images still understand the content and purpose of each image.

Color Contrast

We have designed our website with sufficient color contrast ratios to ensure text is readable for users with visual impairments. We aim to meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements for color contrast, which requires a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.

Form Accessibility

All form fields on our website have associated labels that clearly describe the expected input. Required fields are clearly indicated, and form validation errors are communicated to users in an accessible manner. We use appropriate ARIA attributes where necessary to enhance form accessibility.

Responsive Design

Our website uses responsive design techniques to ensure content is accessible across a wide range of devices and screen sizes. Users can zoom in up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.

Link Text

We use descriptive link text that makes sense out of context. Links clearly indicate their destination or purpose, helping all users understand where each link will take them.
