askART's Website Accessibility Policy

askART, we’re committed to accessibility. It is our policy to ensure that everyone, including persons with disabilities, has full and equal access to our digital offerings.

  • If an input error is automatically detected and suggestions for correction are known, then the suggestions are provided to the user

  • Web pages have titles that describe topic or purpose
  • Web pages can be navigated sequentially and focusable components receive focus in an order that preserves meaning and operability

  • We use third-party web accessibility apps to audit our digital offerings
  • We invite feedback from all users of our website to improve accessibility

Compliance
