Our Commitment
Kite is committed to providing a digital platform that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability. We continually strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, improving the user experience for everyone.
Accessibility Features
All interactive elements (buttons, inputs, menus, and links) can be fully reached and operated using standard keyboard controls without a mouse.
Color combinations across both Light and Dark themes strictly meet or exceed the 4.5:1 contrast ratio required for standard body text and interactive components.
Semantic HTML landmarks, ARIA labels, live status announcements, and alt-text attributes ensure compatibility with NVDA, VoiceOver, and JAWS.
We respect the operating system's prefers-reduced-motion media query, disabling non-essential transitions and animations for sensitive users.
