Conformance Status
This website aims to conform to:

Accessibility Features
We have taken the following measures to support accessibility:
- Ensuring sufficient color contrast for text and interactive elements
- Providing descriptive alternative text for meaningful images
- Using semantic heading structure for screen reader navigation
- Making links clearly identifiable and programmatically discernible

Ongoing Improvements
Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We regularly evaluate and improve our website through:
- Automated accessibility testing using WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool and Google Lighthouse
- Manual keyboard navigation testing
