  • Headings are used consistently and clearly
  • Content is readable, with plain language wherever possible
  • Responsive design across desktops, tablets, and smartphones

5. Third-Party Content and External Links

Some parts of our website may contain embedded third-party content (e.g., YouTube videos) or links to external websites.
