Fifth & Ninth Accessibility Features
The Fifth & Ninth website can be adjusted with keyboard navigation using the “tab” key (WCAG 2.1/2.1.1). Additionally, the list of all provided accessibility features and tools for better website experience are:
Zoom | WCAG 2.1 / 1.4.4
This feature enables users to enhance the size of the text to up to three times the original text for better text readability.
Bigger cursor
Makes the cursor bigger and more prominent. Increases the size for better site browsing.
Invert colors
Invert the colors of the website content. For those with decreased vision, the high contrast greatly helps to read the site better.
Tweak Contrast | WCAG 2.1 / 1.4.6
This feature lets users manually select from two options: to enhance the contrast of the website or to decrease the contrast.
Tweak Brightness | WCAG 2.1 / 1.4.6
This feature lets users update the brightness on the site. The content can either be made brighter or darker.

In the event that you haven't manually written these image descriptions yourself, this greatly helps people with visual impairment browse your site.
