- Audit: Conduct a comprehensive accessibility audit of our website. This is currently in progress.
- Prioritization: Identify critical areas that need immediate attention and categorize issues based on their impact on accessibility.
- Implementation: Begin addressing high-priority issues, with a focus on navigation, text accessibility, and multimedia content, starting in 2025.
