Accessibility Statement
At Ehmiat, we believe the web should be accessible to everyone. We're committed to creating digital experiences that can be used by people of all abilities. This accessibility statement explains how we approach digital inclusion and outlines our ongoing efforts toward a more accessible web.
Our Commitment
We strive to ensure that our website and services follow accessibility best practices and standards. Our goal is to create digital experiences that are perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users, regardless of their abilities or how they access the web.
This commitment extends beyond our own digital properties—we actively encourage and help our clients implement accessible design principles in the solutions we create for them.
Our accessibility approach
We view accessibility not as a checklist but as an integral part of quality user experience. Our design and development processes consider accessibility from the beginning, rather than as an afterthought.
Standards We Follow
Our accessibility efforts are guided by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These internationally recognized guidelines help make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including:
- • Visual impairments
- • Hearing impairments
- • Motor limitations
- • Cognitive disabilities
- • Speech disabilities
- • Photosensitivity
- • Learning disabilities
- • Combinations of these
We also consider other accessibility requirements and best practices from sources such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508, and the European Accessibility Act.

Our website includes various features designed to improve accessibility and usability for everyone:
Semantic Structure
Our pages use proper heading hierarchy and semantic HTML elements to provide clear navigation and structure for screen reader users.
Color and Contrast
We maintain sufficient color contrast between text and background elements, and ensure that color is not the only means of conveying information.
Keyboard Navigation
All interactive elements are keyboard accessible, with visible focus indicators to help keyboard-only users navigate the site.
Alternative Text
Images include descriptive alternative text to ensure content is available to screen reader users and when images fail to load.
Responsive Design
Our site works across various devices and screen sizes, with content that reflows appropriately for different viewport widths.
Text Resizing
Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.
Compatibility and Assistive Technology
We design our website to be compatible with a variety of browsers, devices, and assistive technologies, including:
Screen Readers
- • JAWS
- • NVDA
- • VoiceOver
- • TalkBack
Browsers
- • Latest versions of Chrome
- • Firefox
- • Safari
- • Edge
While we aim for broad compatibility, we continuously test and improve our site as new technologies and standards emerge.
Known Limitations
We are committed to transparency about our accessibility efforts. While we strive to make our site as accessible as possible, there may be some limitations:
Some older content may not fully meet our current accessibility standards. We are working to update this content progressively.
Third-party content or applications embedded within our site may have accessibility limitations outside of our control.
Complex data visualizations may have alternative formats available, but might not be fully accessible in their interactive form.
We continuously work to address these limitations and improve the accessibility of our digital presence.
Testing and Continuous Improvement
Our accessibility efforts include regular testing and evaluation of our website using:
Automated Testing
We use automated tools to identify potential accessibility issues during development and content updates.
Manual Testing
Our team performs keyboard navigation and screen reader testing to ensure a positive experience for users of assistive technologies.
User Feedback
We value input from users with disabilities to identify areas for improvement and address specific challenges.
Accessibility is a journey, not a destination. We're committed to continuous improvement and regular reviews of our website against accessibility guidelines and best practices.
