Website Accessibility Statement

Media Pantheon, Inc. is committed to providing digital experiences that are accessible to all users. Accessibility is central to how we design, build, and maintain our platforms. It is not treated as an optional feature but as a core principle of our work.

As a U.S.-based company headquartered in Delaware, we comply with American laws while also serving clients and users in Europe and Australia. We operate in countries including Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Australia, and in each region, we follow the laws and accessibility standards required to meet the needs of local users.

In the United States, Media Pantheon, Inc. complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. These laws establish clear standards for accessibility in digital environments, and we apply them consistently across our U.S. operations, as well as in other jurisdictions where comparable requirements apply.

In Europe, we follow applicable directives and national regulations, including the European Accessibility Act (EAA), which comes into effect in 2025. We also adapt to country-specific requirements in Germany, Switzerland, France, and the United Kingdom, along with other countries where we serve clients. This approach allows us to maintain compliance with both regional directives and local legal obligations.

In Australia, we comply with the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) and align our practices with the Australian Human Rights Commission’s accessibility guidance. These standards form part of our broader approach to accessibility, which extends to additional regions where our clients are based.

By grounding our practices in these international frameworks, we demonstrate our commitment to meeting regional obligations while also upholding the highest global benchmarks for accessibility.

Our websites are designed and maintained to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at the AAA level, which represents the highest global benchmark for digital accessibility. This reflects our internal commitment to building platforms that go beyond the baseline standards.

At the same time, many of our clients request WCAG 2.2 Level AA compliance, which remains the most widely adopted standard across industries. To meet those needs, we develop and deliver solutions that fully align with both Level AA and Level AAA requirements, depending on the scope of each project.

We also apply WAI-ARIA 1.2 labels throughout our platforms. These labels improve compatibility with assistive technologies, allowing screen readers and other tools to interpret and present web content with clarity.

The following accessibility features are integrated into our websites and digital services. Each feature has been implemented with consideration of international accessibility standards and is tested on a regular basis. By addressing both common and specialized user needs, we support consistent access across different technologies, browsers, and operating systems, including Windows and macOS.

Our websites are designed so that every primary function can be accessed using only a keyboard. On both Windows and macOS systems, visitors can move between interactive elements with the Tab key, while selections can be activated using Enter or Space. Shift + Tab allows navigation in reverse order, and arrow keys are supported for dropdown menus, form fields, and tabbed content areas.

Focus indicators remain visible at all times so users can identify which element is currently active. The navigation order is structured to follow a logical sequence across all browsers, reducing unnecessary keystrokes. This provides consistent access for individuals who cannot operate a mouse or touchscreen, regardless of whether they are using a Windows or macOS environment.

We build our websites to work with leading screen readers across multiple platforms. On Windows, our content is tested with NVDA and JAWS, while on macOS, we support VoiceOver, which is built into Apple devices. Headings, landmarks, and lists are arranged in a structured hierarchy, so information is presented in a logical sequence across all systems.

Headings, landmarks, and lists are arranged in a structured hierarchy, so information is presented in a logical sequence across all systems.

Dynamic elements, such as menus, dialogs, and form validation messages, are coded with ARIA attributes to provide status updates as they occur. This cross-platform approach allows screen reader users on both Windows and macOS to browse, interact, and complete tasks without disruption.

All images published on our platforms include descriptive alternative text (ALT text). Screen readers on both Windows and macOS, such as NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver, use this text to describe the purpose or meaning of an image. Informational images are described with direct language, while functional icons, such as buttons or links, are labeled according to their action.

For decorative images that do not contribute information, ALT text is intentionally left empty. This prevents unnecessary announcements and supports smoother navigation across both operating systems. By applying ALT text consistently, images remain accessible no matter what device or screen reader is used.

We apply strong color contrast ratios to text, icons, and interactive elements to meet WCAG 2.2 AA and AAA standards. This is tested for color vision deficiencies including protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia, and monochromacy.

On both Windows and macOS systems, we verify that critical content remains distinguishable across browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. Interactive elements, like links and buttons, are styled with more than color alone, adding visual indicators that support recognition across different visual conditions and platforms.

Our websites remain fully functional when zoomed up to 400% on both Windows and macOS. Enlarging the display does not break layouts, obscure interactive content, or force excessive scrolling. Text, images, and navigation menus adapt responsively so that no information is lost.

On Windows devices, this function is accessed using the Ctrl and “+” keys to zoom in and Ctrl and “-” to zoom out. On macOS devices, the same actions are performed with Command and “+” or Command and “-.” In both systems, each step increases or decreases the display size by approximately 10%, while still preserving usability.

ARIA 1.2 labels are implemented across our platforms to describe interactive elements in ways that standard HTML may not provide. For example, expandable menus and form fields are marked with attributes that communicate whether they are currently active, expanded, or collapsed.

These attributes are interpreted consistently by assistive technologies on both Windows and macOS, including NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver. This allows users on any platform to operate complex components such as sliders, accordions, or modal dialogs with predictable results. By applying ARIA 1.2 labels, we maintain compatibility across operating systems and screen reader technologies.

Accessibility is an ongoing process at Media Pantheon, Inc. We recognize that standards, technologies, and user needs continue to evolve, so our commitment extends beyond initial implementation. Regular reviews are conducted using automated tools, manual testing, and real-world assistive technologies.

Our testing procedures cover Windows and macOS environments to verify consistent behavior across operating systems. We also test on the latest versions of widely used browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. Screen reader checks are performed with NVDA and JAWS on Windows, as well as VoiceOver on macOS, to confirm that content is presented in a usable order and that interactive elements behave as expected.

We welcome feedback from users and treat accessibility as a continuous responsibility rather than a one-time compliance effort. When issues are identified, we make corrections as promptly as possible and apply updates across affected services. This process allows us to maintain accessibility over time while adapting to new regulations and technologies.

By using our digital platforms, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Accessibility Statement. If you do not agree with the practices described, you should discontinue use of our services.
