Advocates for Universal Web Accessibility
ArtVersion is deeply committed to web usability and accessibility for all, viewing the Internet as a globally inclusive community open to everyone. At ArtVersion, inclusion and accessibility are the foundations of our digital projects. We aim to provide a seamless, user-friendly online experience for everyone, regardless of their abilities. Since our inception, ArtVersion has promoted universal web accessibility. This approach to digital projects reflects our commitment to accessibility measures incorporated from the beginning of our design and development processes. Inclusive design enriches the overall user experience.
We go beyond mere compliance and regulations—aiming to exceed established standards, by setting new industry benchmarks. Often collaborating with Internet governing bodies, we uphold our commitment to web accessibility. We provide ongoing accessibility training for our team, keeping them updated on the latest developments and best practices in digital accessibility. This equips us to innovate and adapt, ensuring user needs are central to every design decision. Our pursuit of digital accessibility is more than a mission—it’s our passion. This is our accessibility statement, this is our promise:
