At Epistates, Inc., digital accessibility is not just a legal requirement—it's a fundamental principle. We believe technology should be inclusive and accessible to all users, regardless of their abilities or the assistive technologies they may use.

Sufficient time limits
Clear navigation structure

Understandable

Information and UI operation must be understandable.

Clear and simple language
Predictable functionality
Input assistance provided
Consistent page layouts

Robust

Content must be robust enough for various assistive technologies.
