Despite our best efforts to ensure the accessibility of ETTE, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations, and potential solutions. Please contact us if you observe an issue not listed below.
Known limitations for ETTE:

1. Video demos for 3rd party products: Video demos do not have the correct close captions because the video demos belong to 3rd parties and ETTE cannot control the level of accessibility.
2. Sliders. – ETTE has modified the sliders as much as possible in order to make them accessible, including the consolidation of links to avoid redundant links, the avoidance of animation with in the sliders, and the addition of arrow for ease of navigation. However, since this is an Elementor add-on module, future updates to the plugin could break any fixes we put in place.
