Structuring content with semantic HTML to support assistive technologies
Limitations & Ongoing Improvements
This site is part of an early-stage civic technology initiative and is still under active development. While we strive to meet accessibility standards, we acknowledge there may be areas where improvements are needed.
We are committed to ongoing testing and updates as our platform grows.
