To attain a Gold Award, numerous judging criteria need to be met to provide better accessibility features, including meaningfully sequenced and structured contents, clear headings and informative links, and high compatibility with assistive technologies that facilitate smooth navigation. Besides these, details such as the colour contrast of text and images, the font size options and the use of sign language are evaluated, through qualified system and practical operations, on how they address the need of all users including people with disabilities and seniors.
