One more good point that you just need to know and understand it's a project Accessible.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (known as WCAG) are an internationally recognised set of recommendations for improving web accessibility.

They explain how to make digital services, websites and apps accessible to everyone, including users with impairments to their:

vision - like severely sight impaired (blind), sight impaired (partially sighted) or colour blind people,

hearing - like people who are deaf or hard of hearing,

mobility - like those who find it difficult to use a mouse or keyboard,

thinking and understanding - like people with dyslexia, autism or learning difficulties.

WCAG 2.0 was published on 11 December 2008.

WCAG 2.1 was published on 5 June 2018 and all success criteria from 2.0 are included and provide 17 additional success criteria.

WCAG 2.2(draft) is scheduled to be finalised in late 2023 and provides 9 additional success criteria.

Each new guideline includes the previous success criteria and becomes more specific to the technological changes that have developed for the web over the years.

As part of the current design system, we took care to ensure contrast in the colour scheme and Focus state for each element.

As part of your future work, you will need to take care of the logical presentation of information and other aspects specified in the accessibility guidelines.
