Accessibility
We're committed to making our website accessible to everyone. Learn about our accessibility features and how to customize your browsing experience.
Our Commitment
At Universal Apps, we believe that the web should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. We are committed to creating an inclusive digital experience and complying with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards.
Digital accessibility means designing and developing websites and applications that can be used by everyone, including people with visual impairments, hearing impairments, motor disabilities, cognitive disabilities, and other conditions.
Our Accessibility Widget
We provide a customizable accessibility widget that you can access from the bottom left of your screen (desktop) or bottom of the page (mobile). This widget allows you to adjust your browsing experience to meet your specific needs.
Text Size Control
Adjust the text size from 80% to 120% to make content more readable. Use the minus and plus buttons or drag the slider to find the size that works best for you.
High Contrast Mode
Enable high contrast mode to increase the visual distinction between elements on the page. This is particularly helpful for people with low vision or color blindness.
Larger Cursor
Increase the size of your mouse cursor to make it easier to see and track. This is useful for people with motor control difficulties or vision impairments.
Dyslexia-Friendly Font
Enable a dyslexia-friendly font with enhanced spacing and letter positioning. This helps people with dyslexia read text more comfortably and accurately.
Highlight Links
Highlight all links on the page with a distinctive yellow background and underline. This makes it easier to identify clickable elements, especially for users with color blindness.

WCAG 2.1 Compliance
We aim to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards, which cover accessibility for people with disabilities including:
- Visual impairments (blindness, low vision, color blindness)
- Hearing impairments (deafness, hard of hearing)
- Motor disabilities (inability to use a mouse, tremors)
- Cognitive disabilities (learning disabilities, dyslexia, ADHD)
- Temporary disabilities (broken arm, temporary illness)
This includes proper heading structure, alt text for images, keyboard navigation, sufficient color contrast, and clear and simple language.
