Kudos takes accessibility very seriously and we are committed to making our site as accessible as possible.

We run internal accessibility checks as we develop the site and launch new features. As an example of this, our homepage achieves a Google Lighthouse score of 100%:

and many of our Story (content) pages also achieve very high accessibility scores:

We apply the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) guidelines when considering how to make our site as accessible as possible. For example:

• Alt text: we provide text alternatives for images to improve accessibility for visually impaired users and those with slow internet connections. 
• Colour contrast: we use colours with sufficient contrast to make text easy to read, especially for users with impaired vision.
• Keyboard accessible: we ensure users can navigate our site without a mouse using keyboard-only navigation.
• Navigation aids: we provide features such as breadcrumbs, headings and tags  to help users find what they're looking for more quickly, for example when using a screen reader. 
• Accessible forms: We make sure forms are organized logically and include clear instructions and cues.
• Choice of fonts: We use a limited number of fonts that are easy to read and specify a minimum font size to support users with impaired vision.

Although we are not formally W3C certified at this stage, the following accessibility summary shows we are WCAG 2.2 compliant, have no critical issues and pass 26 audits:
