Accessibility Statement for 91传媒

Our Commitment

At 91传媒, we are committed to providing an inclusive, user-friendly online experience for every learner, visitor, and member of our community. We believe that everyone 鈥 regardless of ability 鈥 should be able to access and benefit from the information, services and opportunities available on our website. An accessible website isn鈥檛 just a legal requirement 鈥 it鈥檚 a moral and educational priority. By making our digital content inclusive, we improve the experience for all users, meet rising legal standards such as WCAG听补苍诲 EAA, and reach a broader audience. Accessibility also improves user satisfaction, engagement, and search engine visibility.

鈿欙笍 Accessibility Tools on Our Website

We have implemented the Ally Accessibility Widget听to support accessibility across our site. The widget appears on all pages and enables users to customise how content is displayed.

Features for Website Visitors

Visitors can control the following features via the accessibility widget:

  • Hide the Icon听鈥 Remove the accessibility widget from view if using personal accessibility software.
  • Restore Defaults听鈥 Reset all settings to default.
  • Increase/Decrease Text Size听鈥 Tailor font size for improved readability.
  • Grayscale Filter听鈥 For colour-blind or light-sensitive users.
  • Contrast Scale听鈥 Includes Negative, High, Light and Dark contrast modes.
  • Underline Links听鈥 Highlights links to improve visibility.
  • Readable Font听鈥 Easier-to-read fonts for users with dyslexia.
  • Sitemap View听鈥 Displays headers and links in an easy-to-navigate list.
  • Hide Images听鈥 Removes images for better focus.
  • Pause Animations听鈥 Reduces motion for neurodiverse users.
  • Reading Guide听鈥 Enlarges or modifies cursor for focus.
  • Line Height听鈥 Adjust line spacing for better legibility.
  • Text Alignment听鈥 Customise left, centre, or right alignment.
  • Focus Outline听鈥 Visual indicator for active elements (keyboard navigation).
  • Skip to Main Content听鈥 Jump directly to key content without navigating menus.

These settings can be toggled on or off based on user preferences.

馃搵 Limitations & Future Plans

While the Ally widget improves accessibility, it is not a full substitute for a comprehensive accessibility audit.

We recognise that some website elements are currently not fully accessible. These include:

  • Some PDFs and legacy documents not optimised for screen readers
  • Lack of “skip to main content” functionality on some pages (now being added)
  • Some non-descriptive link labels
  • Occasional colour contrast issues
  • Unstructured headings on older pages

We have conducted a site audit听补苍诲 are working with internal teams and external specialists to address these issues in future development phases.

馃攳 Upcoming Enhancements

We are committed to continuous improvement. Planned upgrades include:

  • Accessibility Scanner: to proactively identify site-wide issues
  • Remediation Wizard: to guide developers in fixing content barriers
  • Widget Analytics: to track user interactions and identify improvement areas
  • Screen Reader Optimisation: for seamless navigation using assistive tech
