Our Commitment to Accessibility
WYSS is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure our website is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.
Conformance Status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.
The WYSS website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. We are actively working to achieve full conformance and regularly assess and update our website to improve accessibility.

- Alternative text for images and graphics
- Keyboard navigation support for all interactive elements

- Sufficient color contrast ratios for text and background colors
- Resizable text without loss of functionality or content
- Skip navigation links to bypass repetitive content
- ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) landmarks and labels
- Properly structured headings for logical content hierarchy
- Descriptive link text that makes sense out of context
- Form labels and clear error messages
- Responsive design that works across various devices and screen sizes
- Video and audio content with captions and transcripts where applicable
