At Verdek, we are dedicated to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are actively working to ensure that our digital content is inclusive and usable by everyone, including people with visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments.

To enhance accessibility, we:

• Design our website to be compatible with assistive technologies like screen readers and voice recognition software.
• Use alt text for images and descriptive link text for better navigation.
• Maintain a consistent structure and layout across pages for ease of use.
• Regularly review and update our digital content to ensure accessibility compliance.

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, which provide internationally recognized standards for web accessibility developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
