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. OH! Media is fully conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Fully conformant means that the content fully conforms to the accessibility standard without any exceptions.
Additional Accessibility Considerations
Although our goal is WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance, we have also applied some Level AAA Success Criteria: Images of text are only used for decorative purposes. Areas of the site may also include enhanced colour contrast. Audio is only played if the user enables it or starts a video, and the audio is clear. No content flashes more than three times per second. Every link's purpose is clear by the context. The user's location on the site is also considered, with a sitemap included and visual indicators in the navigation.
