These areas will be further improved as part of ongoing updates.

Disabling animations (for epilepsy-safe use)
Dyslexia-friendly font adjustment (easier reading for affected individuals)
Text alignment and line height adjustable
Visual adjustment of color saturation & display
Option to disable images (for better focus on texts)

In addition, manual checks and automated tests have been performed:

Verification with screen reader software (e.g., NVDA & VoiceOver).
Manual control of contrasts, keyboard operability, and alt-texts for images.
Analysis of loading times and possible barriers due to non-accessible plugins or scripts.

Since accessibility is an ongoing process, the website is regularly reviewed and optimized.
