IUCC is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability, and allows easy and comfortable access. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and many resources and efforts are being invested.
Our purpose is to improve our website and make it available, convenient and user friendly for people with movement, vision or cognitive disabilities, and those who struggle in operating computers and the internet and to allow everyone fast and easy access and enjoy the contents and services, especially developed for our customers.
This website endeavors to conform to Double-A (AA) level of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines will help make the web more user friendly for all people.
