Our Commitment

TopDental Institute is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people of all abilities. We strive to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards and maintain an ongoing effort to make our website usable by the widest possible audience.

1. Accessibility Standards

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines address a wide range of accessibility issues for web content and are organized around four principles:

Perceivable

Information and UI components must be presentable in ways users can perceive — text alternatives for images, captions for media, adaptable content.

Operable

UI components and navigation must be operable — keyboard accessible, enough time to read content, no content that causes seizures.

Understandable

Information and UI operation must be understandable — readable text, predictable pages, input assistance.

Robust

Content must be robust enough to be interpreted by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.
