Akkas Media Accessibility Statement
Last Updated: November 17, 2025

Akkas Media is profoundly committed to ensuring that our website and online services are accessible and usable for everyone, including People of Determination and individuals with disabilities. We strive to follow internationally recognized accessibility standards and continuously improve the user experience for all visitors.

1. Our Commitment to International Standards

We aim to make our website fully compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, which outline the global best practices for digital accessibility. Our mission is to ensure that all users—regardless of ability, device, or assistive technology—can access our content and services with ease.

Our key compliance priorities include:

• Clear, consistent, and intuitive navigation.

• Readable, scalable, and high-contrast text.

• Meaningful alternative text (alt-text) for all essential images.

• Keyboard-accessible menus and interactive elements.

• Logical structure that supports screen reader compatibility.

• Content designed to avoid flashing, distracting, or harmful patterns.

2. Measures We Have Implemented

To achieve and maintain WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance, Akkas Media has implemented strong accessibility practices, including:

Semantic HTML:
Structured and well-labeled code to support accurate screen reader interpretation.

Descriptive Alt-Text:
Meaningful descriptions for all non-decorative visuals and icons.

Accessible Forms:
Clear labels, instructions, validation messages, and a logical tab order.

Responsive Design:
Adaptive layout ensuring smooth usability across phones, tablets, and desktops.

Assistive Technology Compatibility:
Support for major screen readers and accessibility tools such as NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver.

We evaluate and improve our accessibility standards on an ongoing basis.

3. Ongoing Improvement and Feedback Mechanism

Accessibility is a continuous process. To maintain and enhance our standards, we conduct:

• Periodic Accessibility Audits: Automated and manual audits performed regularly.

• Content Quality Reviews: Ensuring clarity, readability, and consistency.

• Regular System Updates: Fixing issues identified internally or reported by users.

4. Limitations & Known Issues

We are actively addressing these limitations and continually seek more accessible alternatives.

5. Technical Requirements & Compatibility

Our website is designed to work effectively on:

• Modern browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge).
