1. OUR COMMITMENT
We believe digital spaces should welcome everyone. We build our platform to accommodate people of all physical and cognitive abilities.
Skills Forge Solutions (Pty) Ltd is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. In line with our core value of Life-Long Learning, we believe that professional excellence is only possible when digital solutions are inclusive and accessible to everyone, regardless of their physical or cognitive abilities.
2. CONFORMANCE STATUS
Our site follows global accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 Level AA), though some external elements might have minor limits.
We continuously work to improve the user experience for everyone by applying relevant accessibility standards. Our website is designed to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 Level AA.
We utilize Wix’s native accessibility frameworks to audit and repair structural errors, set logical content order for keyboard navigation, and establish clear heading hierarchies for clean content scanning.
3. ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES ON THIS SITE
You can easily navigate our site using just a keyboard, read it with screen readers, and view it clearly with high-contrast text.
To ensure an inclusive experience, we have optimized the following features across our platform:
-
Keyboard Navigation: The entirety of our website can be navigated using only a standard keyboard via the Tab, Enter, and Arrow keys.
-
Visual Focus Indicators: Clear focus rings automatically highlight active interactive elements to show keyboard users exactly where they are on a page.
-
Alternative Text (Alt-text): We provide concise, descriptive Alt-text for all meaningful images to assist screen-reader users in understanding visual context.
-
Typography & Contrast: We enforce high-contrast color ratios and highly legible, clean font styles to assist users with visual impairments.
-
Reduced Motion Sensitivity: We purposefully minimize distracting decorative animations and restrict the use of rapid video motion to accommodate users with motion sensitivities.
4. KNOWN LIMITATIONS
Embedded elements outside our direct platform (like external maps or custom plugins) might not be perfectly accessible yet.
While we strive for universal accessibility, some external technical limitations exist:
-
Third-Party Integrations: Embedded widgets, social media feeds, or interactive external frame elements may not fully meet WCAG standards as their source code is outside our direct control.
-
Legacy Media: Certain archived project files, documents, or older portfolio items may not be fully optimized for real-time text-to-speech screen readers.
