Limitations and Alternatives

Despite our best efforts to ensure the accessibility of our websites, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of the known limitations and possible solutions. Please contact our team if you notice an issue not detailed below.

We use WordPress CMS. The WordPress CMS is a platform designed by third parties, and together with the CMS, we use themes and plugins that do not always consider accessibility. We chose a theme and plugins that are committed to accessibility and good development practices. However, its updates and internal changes could cause accessibility errors. We review the website frequently to ensure it remains accessible.

We have evaluated the accessibility of our websites using the following approaches:

Our accessibility specialist undertook a self-assessment.
Different people in different roles periodically review the design and writing of the content. Among them are professionals in web development, design, writing, plain language, and accessibility.
