Accessibility Statement

Last updated: January 2024

1. Our Commitment

MTE Software Ltd is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including people with disabilities. We believe that everyone should have equal access to information and functionality on our website.

We continually work to improve the accessibility of our website and ensure it meets or exceeds applicable standards.

2. Accessibility Standards

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. These guidelines, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities.

WCAG 2.2 covers four main principles. Content should be:

  • Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive
  • Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable
  • Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable
  • Robust: Content must be robust enough to be interpreted by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies

3. Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following accessibility features on our website:

  • Semantic HTML: Proper heading structure and landmark regions for screen reader navigation
  • Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements are accessible via keyboard
  • Colour Contrast: Text meets WCAG AA contrast requirements for readability
  • Focus Indicators: Visible focus states for keyboard users
  • Alt Text: Descriptive alternative text for meaningful images
  • Form Labels: All form inputs have associated labels
  • Responsive Design: Content adapts to different screen sizes and zoom levels
  • Skip Links: Skip to main content functionality for screen reader users
  • ARIA Labels: Appropriate use of ARIA attributes where needed

4. Compliance Status

We believe this website is substantially compliant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. We regularly test our website and address any accessibility issues we identify.

5. Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some areas may not yet be fully accessible:
