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
