♿ Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Accessibility

At GiftKhar, we believe that access to information about gift cards should be available to everyone, regardless of ability or technology. We strive to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards, which are a set of guidelines for making web content more accessible.

We recognize that accessibility is a journey, not a destination. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and welcome any feedback from our users.

Measures We've Taken

Our efforts toward accessibility include, but are not limited to:

• Semantic HTML: We use proper HTML markup with appropriate headings, landmarks, and labels to ensure content is accessible to screen readers and other assistive technologies.
• Color Contrast: We maintain sufficient color contrast between text and background to ensure readability for users with visual impairments.
• Keyboard Navigation: Our website can be navigated using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all features.
• Alt Text for Images: We provide descriptive alternative text for images to ensure users with visual impairments can understand the content.
• Readable Font Sizes: Our content uses readable font sizes and can be resized up to 200% without breaking functionality.
• Focus Indicators: We ensure that keyboard focus is clearly visible, helping keyboard users understand where they are on the page.
• Responsive Design: Our website is designed to be responsive, adapting to different screen sizes and devices, including mobile phones and tablets.
• Skip Navigation: We provide a "skip to main content" link at the beginning of each page to help keyboard users bypass navigation menus.
• ARIA Attributes: Where necessary, we use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance accessibility for dynamic content and advanced user interface controls.

Accessibility Features You Can Use

Our website is designed to work with various assistive technologies and browser accessibility features. Here are some ways you can adjust your experience:

• Text Size: Use your browser's zoom function (usually Ctrl/Cmd + + or -) to increase or decrease text size.
• Screen Readers: Our content is structured to work with screen readers such as NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
• Keyboard Navigation: Use Tab key to navigate through links and form controls, Enter key to activate links and buttons, and arrow keys to navigate within some components.
• High Contrast Mode: Use your operating system's high contrast mode for improved visibility.
• Text Spacing: If you need more space between lines, letters, or words, you can use custom CSS or browser extensions to adjust text spacing.

Known Limitations

While we strive to ensure that our website is accessible to everyone, we are aware that there may be some limitations:

• Some older content may not meet all our accessibility standards, but we are working to update it.
• Third-party content or functionality that we do not control may not be fully accessible.
• Some complex features may have limited accessibility, but we provide alternative methods to access the information.

We are actively working to address these limitations and improve the accessibility of our website.
