We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities.

Meeting Level AA standards means that our website should be:

• Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive
• Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable by all users
• Understandable: Information and operation of the user interface must be understandable
• Robust: Content must be robust enough to work with current and future technologies

Accessibility is not a one-time project—it's an ongoing commitment. Here's what we're doing to keep improving:

• Regular accessibility audits and testing with real users
• Training our team on accessibility best practices
• Testing new features with assistive technologies before launch
• Updating older content to meet current accessibility standards
• Listening to feedback from users with disabilities

We know we're not perfect, and there's always more work to do. But we're committed to making continuous improvements and ensuring everyone can access our financial education content.
