  <h3>Conformance status</h3>

    The

      >Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)</a

    for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level
    A, Level AA, and Level AAA.
    <span class="basic-information website-name">gosha.net</span>
    is
    <span
      class="basic-information conformance-status"
      data-printfilter="lowercase"
      >partially conformant</span
    >
    with
    <span class="basic-information conformance-standard"
      ><span data-negate="">WCAG 2.1 level AA</span>.</span
    >
    <span>
      <span class="basic-information conformance-status"
        >Partially conformant</span
      >
      means that
      <span class="basic-information conformance-meaning"
        >some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility
        standard</span
      >.
    </span>
  </p>
  <h4>Additional accessibility considerations</h4>
  <p class="basic-information conformance-additions">
    Current status: project gallery pages are not currently meeting the WCAG 2.1
    level AA standard, as most images are lacking descriptive text. This is
    being worked on.
