Guiding Peer Support is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continuously improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to make our website, gpspeers.com, as inclusive as possible.
Our Commitment & Standards
We strive to conform our website design and structure to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA standards. These guidelines outline best practices for making web content accessible to individuals with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive challenges.
Accessibility Features Implemented
To achieve this, we design our site elements with accessibility in mind, including:
- Semantic HTML Structure: Using proper heading hierarchies (
<h1>,<h2>, etc.) so screen readers can navigate easily. - Text Contrast: Selecting high-contrast color palettes (such as our premium deep slate backgrounds and pure white content areas) to ensure text readability.
- Keyboard Friendly: Structuring interactive elements to support keyboard tab navigation.
- Responsive Scaling: Designing layout elements that scale cleanly without breaking when zoomed or viewed on high-magnification screens.
- Image Alt Text: Working to provide alternative text descriptions for all primary visual images.
Ongoing Efforts
We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing process. We regularly review our layout components and code structures to address digital barriers and adapt to modern assistive technologies.
