Website Improvements
Some recent updates include:
- Improved site structure
We’re working to edit every page on www.opalco.com to include appropriate headings, lists, paragraphs and other formatting for better usability with assistive technology. - Added text equivalents
We’re adding alternative text, captions and transcripts to images and videos so users who can’t see or hear have a text equivalent to interact with. - Create site consistency
We’ve created templates for our site to ensure consistency. Once you’re familiar with how our pages and menus work, you can expect similar functionality across the site, each time you visit.
