ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

1. Our Commitment

QuantumByte Technologies is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to ensure our website quantumbyte.tech is accessible, usable, and inclusive for all visitors — regardless of ability, technology, or circumstance.

We believe that every user deserves an equally dignified and independent experience. Accessibility is not an afterthought — it is a core part of how we design and build our platform.

2. Conformance Status

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

3. Accessibility Features

Our website includes the following accessibility features:

3.1 Visual Accessibility

• High Contrast: Dark theme with sufficient color contrast ratios (4.5:1 minimum for normal text)
• Scalable Text: All text scales correctly with browser font size adjustments up to 200%
• Color Independence: Information is never conveyed by color alone — icons and labels accompany color cues
• Focus Indicators: Visible focus outlines on all interactive elements for keyboard users
• No Flashing Content: We avoid animations that flash more than 3 times per second

3.2 Navigation & Structure

• Keyboard Navigation: All functionality is accessible via keyboard (Tab, Enter, Arrow keys, Escape)
• Skip Links: "Skip to main content" link available for screen reader and keyboard users
• Logical Heading Structure: Pages use proper H1 → H2 → H3 hierarchy for easy navigation
• Descriptive Page Titles: Each page has a unique, descriptive title tag
• Breadcrumb Navigation: Clear breadcrumbs on all secondary pages
• Consistent Navigation: Navigation menus appear in the same location across all pages

3.3 Content & Media

• Alt Text: All meaningful images have descriptive alternative text
• Decorative Images: Purely decorative images have empty alt attributes (alt="")
• Plain Language: Content is written in clear, simple language where possible
• Link Descriptions: Links have descriptive text rather than generic "click here" or "read more"
• Form Labels: All form inputs have associated visible labels
• Error Identification: Form errors are clearly identified and described in text

3.4 Technical Standards

• Semantic HTML5: Proper use of semantic elements (nav, main, article, section, header, footer)
• ARIA Landmarks: ARIA roles and labels where native HTML semantics are insufficient
• Screen Reader Compatible: Tested with NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver
• Responsive Design: Works on all screen sizes from mobile to desktop
• No Keyboard Traps: Users can always navigate away from any component using keyboard
• Timeout Warnings: Users are warned before session timeouts occur

4. Assistive Technology Support

Our website has been tested with the following assistive technologies:

5. Known Limitations

Despite our efforts, some areas of our website may not yet fully meet all accessibility standards. Known limitations include:

• Product Image Galleries: Some interactive zoom features may not be fully keyboard accessible — a static fallback is available
• Third-Party Embeds: Some embedded content (maps, payment widgets) is provided by third parties and may not fully conform to WCAG 2.1 AA
• Complex Data Tables: Some comparison tables may lack full ARIA table markup on older browsers
• PDF Documents: Technical specification PDFs may not be fully tagged — we provide HTML alternatives where possible

We are actively working to resolve these limitations in future updates.
