At Thefirmo, we are committed to making our digital content accessible to all people, regardless of ability, background, device, or technology.
We believe every reader deserves full and equal access to the information, journalism, and services we provide. Our goal is to create a website experience that is clear, usable, inclusive, and accessible for as many people as possible.
Accessibility is an ongoing effort. As Thefirmo grows, we will continue improving our website, content, and digital experiences in line with recognized accessibility standards and best practices.
Our Commitment
Thefirmo is actively working to ensure that our website is:
Perceivable — Content is presented in ways users can see, hear, or otherwise access.
Operable — Navigation, forms, and interactive elements can be used with a keyboard and assistive technologies.
Understandable — Information is written and structured clearly.
Robust — Our website is designed to work across modern browsers, devices, and assistive technologies.
We aim to align our website with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, where reasonably possible.
Actions We’re Taking
To support our accessibility goals, Thefirmo has implemented, or is working to implement, the following improvements:
Accessible design
Clear layouts, readable typography, strong color contrast, scalable text, and accessible spacing.
Keyboard navigation
Content, menus, links, and forms should be usable by keyboard where possible, without requiring a mouse.
Semantic structure
Proper use of headings, labels, links, and HTML structure to support screen readers and easier navigation.
Alternative text
Meaningful images should include descriptive alt text where appropriate.
Skip links and landmarks.
Page structure should help users bypass repetitive elements and move directly to important content.
Mobile responsiveness
Layouts and controls are designed to work across desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.
Content clarity
We aim to write in clear language and organize information in a way that is easy to follow.
Third-Party Content
Some pages on Thefirmo may include content, tools, widgets, embedded media, advertisements, or services provided by third parties.
While we cannot fully control the accessibility of third-party content, we aim to work with services and vendors that support accessible digital experiences whenever possible.
Known Limitations
Although we are working to improve accessibility across Thefirmo, some parts of the website may not yet be fully accessible.
This may include:
Older articles or legacy content that may not meet current formatting standards
Some charts, visualizations, or financial tools may not be fully optimized for assistive technologies
Embedded media, advertisements, or third-party tools with accessibility limitations outside our direct control
External websites linked from Thefirmo

Our Promise
