Accessibility Statement

The International Post is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people of all abilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards.

We believe that access to information is a fundamental right. The International Post is dedicated to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We aim to comply with all applicable standards and guidelines to ensure our content is available to everyone.

Our team regularly reviews our website and content to identify and address accessibility barriers. We invest in training for our editorial and development teams to ensure accessibility is considered at every stage of content creation and site development.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define 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.

The International Post strives to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. This means we work to ensure that our website meets the success criteria outlined at this level, which addresses the most common barriers for disabled users. We conduct regular audits using both automated tools and manual testing to assess and maintain our conformance.

Our website includes the following accessibility features:

  • Semantic HTML: We use proper heading structures, landmarks, and ARIA labels to ensure screen readers can navigate our content effectively.
  • Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements are accessible via keyboard, and we maintain a visible focus indicator for keyboard users.
  • Color Contrast: Text and interactive elements meet WCAG AA contrast ratio requirements to ensure readability for users with low vision or color deficiencies.
  • Alternative Text: All meaningful images include descriptive alternative text. Decorative images are marked appropriately so they are ignored by assistive technologies.
  • Responsive Design: Our website adapts to different screen sizes and supports text resizing up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.
  • Skip Navigation: A skip-to-content link is provided to allow keyboard users to bypass repetitive navigation elements.
