4. Known Limitations
Despite the overall positive outcome of the review process, a few barriers were identified that still exist:

The following measures have already been implemented to improve accessibility:
- Keyboard navigation throughout the entire website
- Alternative text for all relevant images
- Color contrast in accordance with WCAG 2.2 AA requirements

- Semantically correct HTML structure with a clear heading hierarchy
- ARIA roles to support assistive technologies
6. Audit Methodology
The evaluation was conducted as a self-assessment by Polaris Media GmbH using a systematic set of criteria based on WCAG 2.2. In addition, an internal test panel using assistive technology was involved.
