Accessibility Features

Keyboard Navigation

All interactive elements can be accessed using keyboard-only navigation. Use Tab to move between elements, Enter to activate buttons and links, and Escape to close dialogs.

Screen Reader Support

Our site uses semantic HTML and ARIA labels to ensure compatibility with screen readers like NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.

Color Contrast

We maintain sufficient color contrast ratios between text and backgrounds. Our dark mode and light mode themes are designed with accessibility in mind.

Focus Indicators

Clear visual focus indicators help users track their position when navigating with a keyboard or other assistive devices.

Responsive Design

Our website works across all device sizes and supports zoom up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.

Alternative Text

Property photos and images include descriptive alternative text to convey information to users who cannot see the images.

Using Accessibility Features

Theme Toggle

Use the sun/moon button in the bottom-right corner to switch between light and dark modes based on your visual preference or needs.
