Our Commitment
At The Daily Pulse, we believe information should be available to all. We strive to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standard across all our digital properties.
Our accessibility goals include:
- Ensuring all content is perceivable to users with visual or auditory disabilities.
- Making all functionality operable via keyboard and assistive technologies.
- Presenting information in a way that is understandable and predictable.
- Building robust code that works with a variety of browsers and assistive devices.
We conduct regular accessibility audits and training for our development and editorial teams to maintain high standards.
