Cardea Services is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We strive to ensure that our website is inclusive and usable for all people, including—but not limited to—those with visual, auditory, cognitive, neurological, physical, or speech disabilities.

We are continually working to enhance the user experience and apply relevant accessibility standards to improve our digital services for everyone.

Accessibility Standards and Guidelines

This website endeavors to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and aims to meet Level AA success criteria. These guidelines explain how to make digital content more accessible and user-friendly for individuals with disabilities.

Wherever possible, Cardea Services strives to adhere to applicable accessibility regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, and relevant international accessibility laws and policies, depending on the region or industry served.

Efforts to Support Accessibility

• To ensure accessibility is embedded in our web practices, we take the following proactive steps:
  Conduct routine accessibility audits and testing using both automated tools and manual screen reader and keyboard navigation evaluations
• Use semantic HTML, proper ARIA roles, and meaningful page structure
• Maintain color contrast ratios that meet or exceed WCAG recommendations
• Ensure alt text for all non-decorative images and media
• Provide keyboard navigability for all interactive content
• Minimize reliance on time-based content or motion elements unless user-controlled
• Offer scalable text and responsive layouts for use on various devices
• Educate internal teams on accessible web design and development practices
• Collaborate with third-party vendors to improve accessibility on all integrated tools and platforms

Third-Party Content

While Cardea Services takes every effort to ensure accessibility throughout our digital properties, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party content or features not developed by us. We are committed to working with third-party partners to improve accessibility where feasible and encourage users to notify us of any issues they encounter.
