Accessibility Statement
NEWS BLEND 360
This statement was last updated on January 12,2025.
At News Blend 360, we are committed to ensuring that our website, www.newsblend360.com, is accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. We continuously strive to enhance the user experience by implementing best practices and adhering to web accessibility standards, ensuring that everyone can access and engage with our content. Our goal is to provide an inclusive online platform that allows people of all abilities to navigate and interact with ease.
What web accessibility is
An accessible website is designed to allow individuals with disabilities to navigate, interact with, and enjoy content in a manner similar to users without disabilities. This is achieved by ensuring compatibility with assistive technologies, such as screen readers, voice recognition software, magnification tools, and alternative input devices, which help individuals with various impairments access the site.
Clear and Structured Content
We focus on creating clear and structured content with descriptive headings, links, and consistent layouts that make it easier for users, including those with cognitive impairments, to find and understand information.
Keyboard Navigation
Our site is designed to allow keyboard navigation, enabling users with motor disabilities to browse the site without needing a mouse. We provide accessible shortcuts, focus indicators, and smooth transitions between sections.
Alternative Text for Media
We provide alternative text (alt text) for images, videos, and non-text content, ensuring that those with visual impairments can understand and interact with the media through screen readers. For videos, we offer captions and transcripts to support users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Color and Contrast Considerations
We carefully choose color schemes and text contrasts to ensure readability for individuals with color blindness or low vision. Our goal is to provide sufficient contrast between text and background to make sure that all content is easily legible for users with visual impairments.
Mobile Accessibility
Since many users access the web through mobile devices, we ensure that our site is fully accessible on smartphones and tablets. This includes responsive design features that adapt the layout and functionality of the site to different screen sizes and orientations.
Commitment to Continuous Improvement
By incorporating these accessibility principles, we aim to provide an equal opportunity for all users to access the information and resources on News Blend 360. We are committed to continuously improving our site to meet the needs of all visitors, and we welcome feedback or suggestions to further enhance accessibility.
