Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not yet fully conform to the accessibility standard.

The Memorja website is designed to be compatible with the following web browsers:

• Internet Explorer 11
• Safari 15 or later
• Firefox Version 80 or later
• Chrome Version 82 or later

Technical specifications and accessibility measures used

• Descriptive Link Text: The actual text of each link is descriptive enough to inform users about the destination of the link, enhancing usability for screen reader users.
• Link Identification: All links are clearly identifiable through standard conventions such as underlining, or a change in color when hovered over, to help users understand where they can take action.
• Multimedia Content Captioning: The website implements captioning in as much multimedia content as possible to provide equivalent alternatives for those who cannot process audio.
• Text Resizing: The website ensures that text is not clipped or obscured when resized, maintaining readability for users who require larger text sizes.
