Improved Navigation Experience for All Users
We are excited to announce a new release focused on making our website navigation more accessible and user-friendly for everyone. This update represents our ongoing commitment to inclusivity and ensuring that our digital experience is easily navigable for all clients, including those using assistive technologies.
Key Accessibility Improvements
Mega Menus, Secondary Navigation, and Breadcrumbs
We've made significant accessibility enhancements across our main menu areas:
Revamped Mobile Navigation: Our mobile menu has been redesigned for easier access and seamless navigation, ensuring users on all devices can quickly find what they need.
Updated ARIA Tags: We have improved and expanded ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) tags throughout all navigation elements. This provides better support for screen readers and other assistive technologies, offering clearer context and enhanced usability.
Expand / Collapse Controls: Expand and collapse controls have been updated, allowing users to easily open and close menu sections as needed. These controls are keyboard-accessible and screen reader-friendly.
Enhanced Use of Semantic Elements: We've incorporated more semantic HTML elements throughout our navigation structure. This approach not only helps screen readers and other assistive technologies better interpret the layout and function of menus but also improves overall accessibility and SEO. By clearly defining navigation regions and menu items, users benefit from a more intuitive and consistent browsing experience.
What This Means for You
With these updates, navigating our site will be faster, clearer, and more accessible—whether you're using a desktop, tablet, or mobile device. We believe these improvements will make a meaningful difference for users with a range of abilities and preferences.
