Hi Joe
I am currently looking at adding an accessibility statement to our website.
I have found examples of statements, one of which says
"This website endeavours to conform to level Double-A of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines will help make the web more user friendly for all people.
This website has been built using code compliant with W3C standards for HTML and CSS. The website displays correctly in current browsers and using standards compliant HTML/CSS code means any future browsers will also display it correctly"
Would the above 2 statements apply to the Voice platform? I understand accessibility is also down to how we are using Voice... but that aside, is it possible to use the above/say we aim to meet the above?
Many thanks for any further insight and advice
Sue
I think they are good and reasonable statements and apply well to Voice.
I do try to make things work with AA standard. I think AAA is too difficult in many cases, and requires a lot of manual (and presumably expensive) checking and verification.
Do you think it would be useful if I added a default accessibility statement into the footer links of Voice sites? Along with the standard Cookies and Privacy statements?
I am also aware that Voice could improve some areas of accessibility, which I'll continue to look into. I think there are more improvements that can be made in the standard components and themes (e.g, in the grids layouts produced by filtered item lists).
Thanks
Joe
Many thanks Joe
I think an Accessibility Statement on the footer of Voice sites would be great. Having your technical expertise to provide an accurate reflection of how Voice aims to meet that standard would be v reassuring.
On many examples I have seen, they also acknowledge aspects they are aware need improving so including what you mention above would also be useful.
Thanks
Sue
