Inclusive by Design
We believe everybody is entitled to the same digital experience regardless of ability. Our digital solutions are inclusive by design, meaning we design and build our apps and websites to be accessible from the get-go. To do this we adhere to the Web content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) criteria which ensures the following and far more:
- All text has sufficient contrast against the background colour
- All important graphical objects, interface components, and states have a colour contrast of 3:1
- All content is fully usable up to at least a 200% zoom
- If styling is removed, the content is in a logical order
- No content flashes or flickers
- Users can flip the content horizontally and vertically
- Images of text are not used
- When using a keyboard to move through a page you can tell where you are
