At Türkkan Law Firm, we believe that the reflection in the digital world of the principle of "justice for all", which lies at the foundation of law, is "access for all". With this belief, we are committed to making our website a resource that all users, whatever their abilities and needs, can navigate and understand with ease.
Our website aims to meet the Level AA success criteria of the internationally recognised Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2. In the design and technical infrastructure, basic principles such as compatibility with screen readers, keyboard navigation and sufficient colour contrast have been observed.
For us, this is not a destination but an ongoing journey. If you encounter an accessibility problem or have a suggestion that would improve the experience, you can contact us at selam@turkkanlawfirm.com.
Testing and known gaps
Our site is checked automatically each time it is prepared for publication; the heading structure, the naming of links, in-page link targets and keyboard usability are within the scope of this check. The target size and focus visibility criteria introduced in WCAG 2.2 have been measured in the browser. Colour contrast is also assessed separately in the browser by measuring the actual backgrounds of the text.
As of today, these tests show no unresolved gaps.
Points that cannot be measured by script and continue to be assessed manually:
End-to-end testing with screen readers on real devices
The size of touch targets on real devices
