Our commitments

How the platform is designed

Full keyboard navigation

Every function works without a mouse, with a visible focus ring and a “Skip to content” link.

Screen readers

Labels on every field; errors and alerts announced automatically.

Never colour alone

Every status shows text and an icon, not just colour.

Zoom to 200%

Content stays readable without overlap or sideways scrolling.

Reduced motion respected

Decorative motion stops when your device asks for less.

Arabic first

Full right-to-left layout and plain, clear Arabic.

Try it yourself

Tailor how content looks and see each option's effect instantly.
