Last updated: March 2026

Table of Contents

Introduction

GODUMSITE is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure our content is available to the widest possible audience, regardless of ability or technology.

We believe that health information should be accessible to everyone. This commitment reflects our core values of inclusivity and equal access to wellness resources. Whether you’re using a screen reader, keyboard navigation, or other assistive technologies, we want you to be able to access our health content with ease.

Our Commitment

At GODUMSITE, we believe that health information should be accessible to everyone – regardless of ability. We are committed to ensuring that individuals with disabilities can access and use our website independently and with dignity.

This commitment extends to:

  • Vision impairments: Ensuring compatibility with screen readers and support for magnification
  • Hearing impairments: Providing alternatives for audio content (when applicable)
  • Motor impairments: Supporting keyboard navigation and sufficient time for interactions
  • Cognitive impairments: Creating clear, simple content and consistent navigation
  • Seizure disorders: Avoiding content that could trigger seizures

Accessibility is not a one-time project – it’s an ongoing commitment woven into how we create content and design our site. We recognize that accessibility is a journey, and we are dedicated to continuous improvement.

Accessibility Standards

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These international guidelines outline how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities.

WCAG guidelines are organized around four principles – requiring that content be:

Principle Description
Perceivable   Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive. This means providing text alternatives for non-text content, creating content that can be presented in different ways, and making it easier for users to see and hear content.  
Operable   User interface components and navigation must be operable by all users. This means making all functionality available from a keyboard, giving users enough time to read and use content, and helping users navigate and find content.  
Understandable   Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable. This means making text readable and understandable, making content appear and operate in predictable ways, and helping users avoid and correct mistakes.  
Robust   Content must be robust enough to be interpreted by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies. This means maximizing compatibility with current and future user tools.  

You can learn more about WCAG at the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative website.

Conformance Status

GODUMSITE is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. “Partially conformant” means that some parts of the content may not fully conform to the accessibility standard, but we are actively working to address these issues.

We recognize that accessibility is a journey, not a destination. We are committed to:

  • Regularly testing our site for accessibility issues
  • Fixing identified issues promptly
  • Training our team on accessibility best practices
  • Considering accessibility from the start when creating new content
  • Seeking feedback from users with disabilities

Our goal is to achieve and maintain full WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance and to continually improve the accessibility of our site, especially for our health content which is critical information for many users.

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some content on our site may not yet be fully accessible. Here are known limitations we are working to address:

Limitation Description Status
Older A-Z guides   Older health guides may have issues like missing alt text or poor heading structure.   We are systematically reviewing and updating older content. Priority is given to our most popular health pages.  
Complex medical tables   Some comparison tables or symptom charts may be difficult to navigate with screen readers.   We are simplifying tables and adding proper headers and summaries. New tables are created with accessibility in mind.  
Third-party content   Some embedded content from third-party platforms (such as YouTube videos) may not be fully accessible.   We encourage third parties to improve accessibility and provide alternatives when possible. We are selective about embedded content.  
PDF documents   Some older PDF resources may not be fully accessible to screen readers.   We are reviewing and replacing older PDFs with accessible HTML content where possible. We minimize PDF usage for health information.  

If you encounter any content that is not accessible to you, please contact us so we can address the issue or provide an alternative format.

Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing priority. Here’s what we’re doing to improve:

Current Initiatives

  • Audit: Conducting regular accessibility audits using automated tools and manual testing
  • Training: Educating our content creators on accessibility best practices, including proper heading structure, alt text, and link text
  • Retroactive fixes: Systematically reviewing and updating older health content to improve accessibility
  • User testing: Seeking feedback from users with disabilities to identify barriers we may have missed
  • Platform improvements: Working with our hosting provider to address platform-level accessibility issues

Future Plans

  • Adding an accessibility feedback link to our footer
  • Enhancing keyboard navigation throughout the site
  • Improving color contrast in design elements for better readability
  • Providing transcripts for any audio or video content we add in the future

Measurements and Testing

We assess our accessibility through:

Automated Testing

We use automated tools to regularly scan our site for common accessibility issues, including:

Manual Testing

Automated tools can only catch about 30-40% of accessibility issues. We supplement with manual testing:

  • Keyboard-only navigation testing
  • Screen reader testing (NVDA, VoiceOver)
  • Zoom testing (up to 200%)
  • Color contrast verification

User Feedback

Our most important testing comes from you. If you encounter barriers, please tell us so we can fix them. Your experience helps us identify issues that automated tools cannot detect.
