Accessibility Statement for Interview Ace Australia

Interview Ace Australia is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all users, and applying the relevant accessibility standards. We believe that everyone should have equal access to our website and online resources, regardless of their abilities or disabilities.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, a globally recognized standard for web accessibility. These guidelines outline four main principles: perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. By following these principles, we aim to create a website that is accessible to individuals with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments.

Accessibility Features

Keyboard Navigation

Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard alone. Users can easily move through the site, access menus, and interact with interactive elements using the Tab key, Arrow keys, and Enter key. We have ensured that the focus order is logical and intuitive, making it easy for keyboard users to understand the structure of the page.

Screen Reader Compatibility

We have optimized our website to be compatible with screen reader software, such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver. We use semantic HTML markup to provide screen readers with meaningful information about the structure and content of the page. We also provide alternative text descriptions for all images, ensuring that screen reader users can understand the visual content of the site.

Color Contrast

We have carefully selected color combinations that provide sufficient contrast between text and background. This ensures that our website is readable for users with low vision or color blindness. We regularly test our color contrast ratios using accessibility tools to ensure that they meet the WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines.

Image Alt Text

All images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt text). This text provides a brief summary of the image's content and purpose, allowing screen reader users to understand the image's meaning. Decorative images are marked with null alt text (alt="") to prevent screen readers from announcing them.

Video Captions and Transcripts

All videos on our website include closed captions and transcripts. Captions provide a text-based representation of the audio content, allowing users who are deaf or hard of hearing to understand the video. Transcripts provide a complete written record of the video's audio content, which can be helpful for users who prefer to read the content or who have difficulty understanding the audio.

Resizable Text

Users can easily resize the text on our website using their browser settings. We have designed our website to be responsive, ensuring that the layout adapts to different screen sizes and text sizes. This allows users to customize their viewing experience to meet their individual needs.

Consistent Navigation

We have implemented a consistent navigation structure throughout our website. This makes it easy for users to find the information they are looking for, regardless of which page they are on. Our main navigation menu is located at the top of each page, and we also provide breadcrumb navigation to help users understand their current location within the site.

Forms Accessibility

All forms on our website are designed to be accessible. We use clear and descriptive labels for all form fields, and we provide instructions and error messages to help users complete the forms correctly. We also use ARIA attributes to provide additional information to screen reader users about the purpose and requirements of each form field.
