SYNC TECH is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to make our website, synctech.ie, accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines 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.

Our website is partially conformant with **WCAG 2.1 Level AA**. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. We are actively working to identify and fix these issues to achieve full conformance.

3. Measures We've Taken

We have taken the following measures to ensure the accessibility of our website:

  • Semantic HTML: We use correct heading structures and semantic HTML5 elements to structure content and aid navigation for screen readers.
  • Alternative Text: We provide descriptive alternative text for all meaningful images on our site.
  • Keyboard Navigation: Our website is designed to be fully navigable using only a keyboard. Focus indicators are present to help users understand where they are on the page.
  • Color Contrast: We have ensured that text and background color contrasts meet or exceed WCAG AA requirements to improve readability.
  • Responsive Design: Our site is designed to be responsive and accessible on a wide range of devices, including desktops, tablets, and mobile phones.
  • Clear Language: We strive to use clear and simple language to make our content as easy to understand as possible.

4. Known Limitations and Future Improvements

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility, there may be some limitations. We are aware of the following issues and are working to address them:

  • Third-Party Content: Some embedded content from third-party services (e.g., videos from YouTube, widgets) may not fully conform to our accessibility standards. We are limited in our ability to control this content but will prioritize accessible alternatives where possible.

We are committed to a continuous process of improvement and will be conducting regular accessibility audits to identify and fix issues.
