Our Approach to Accessibility

Everyone should be able to access and enjoy the web. We’re committed to making that a reality.

NAMTRA media is committed to making accessibility a core consideration in our business practices and planning. Our team is focused on monitoring the state of accessibility of Robek's communications and coordinate accessibility training, testing, and consulting.

We also strive to cultivate relationships with a variety of users and advocacy groups to solicit feedback.

(b) Applications shall not disrupt or disable activated features of other products that are identified as accessibility features, where those features are developed and documented according to industry standards. Applications also shall not disrupt or disable activated features of any operating system that are identified as accessibility features where the application programming interface for those accessibility features has been documented by the manufacturer of the operating system and is available to the product developer. Supports Our website does not interfere with or deactivate the accessibility features of the operating system.

This information is not available to assistive technology users, however a high-contrast stylesheet is loaded upon click in the footer of every page.
(j) When a product permits a user to adjust color and contrast settings, a variety of color selections capable of producing a range of contrast levels shall be provided. Supports Our website provides options for users to change themes containing a selection of color and contrast levels. A high-contrast stylesheet is loaded upon click in the footer of every page.
