We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards. We strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as our accessibility standard.
Our Commitment
We believe that everyone deserves equal access to information and services online. Our commitment to accessibility includes:
- Providing alternative text for images and other non-text content.
- Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and background.
- Making our website navigable using only a keyboard.
- Ensuring compatibility with screen readers and other assistive technologies.
- Using clear and simple language.
- Regularly testing and updating our website to improve accessibility.
Accessibility Features
Keyboard Navigation
Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard. You can use the Tab key to move through interactive elements, Shift+Tab to move backwards, and the Enter key to activate links and buttons. We have also implemented skip links to allow users to bypass repetitive navigation and jump directly to the main content of each page.
Screen Reader Compatibility
We have implemented semantic HTML to ensure that our website is compatible with screen readers. This includes using proper heading structures (H1-H6), ARIA attributes where necessary, and providing alternative text for images. Screen reader users can efficiently navigate and understand the content on our website.
Color Contrast
We have carefully selected color palettes that provide sufficient contrast between text and background. This ensures that users with low vision or color blindness can easily read the content on our website. We regularly check our website's color contrast using automated tools and manual testing.
Alternative Text for Images
All images on our website include descriptive alternative text that accurately conveys the content and function of the image. This ensures that users who are unable to see the images can still understand the information being presented.
Adjustable Font Sizes
Users can adjust the font size of our website using their browser settings. This allows users with low vision to increase the text size for better readability.
Clear and Simple Language
We strive to use clear and simple language throughout our website to ensure that the content is easily understood by all users, including those with cognitive disabilities.
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. Vitality Hub 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.

We are aware that there are areas of our website that could be improved to enhance accessibility. These include:
