An external accessibility audit was conducted in 2025. This audit consisted of a simplified analysis. 

Non-accessible Content

  • Not all images or graphic elements contain alternative text. (criterion 9.1.1.1)
  • Some interactive elements cannot be operated using the keyboard. (criterion 9.2.1.1)
  • Some link texts are not clear enough when read out of context. (criterion 9.2.4.4)
  • Interactive components do not correctly communicate their name, role, or value to assistive technologies. (criterion 9.4.1.2)
  • The submenu under the main menu is not accessible via the keyboard.

Proposed Alternatives

Currently, there is no alternative available for the non-accessible content listed above.
