Some parts of our website are not fully following best practice.

For example:

  • Colour contrast may not be strong enough in some places, Element's background color could not be determined due to a background image
  • <iframe> and <frame> elements contain the axe-core script
  • Heading levels should only increase by one in the wysiwyg
