Our accessibility goals
Web Accessibility is at the core of our company values, and we will continue growing our infrastructure to ensure that our website (https://www.edison365.com), the edison365 platform (''platform''), and future features will be inclusive and accessible to people with diverse abilities, and in particular to people who use a wide range of assistive technologies.
Platform
We are in the process of making our platform accessible and compliant with international standards such as the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 level AA. We are currently working on making our platform accessible by making boards and other core building blocks of edison365 compatible with major assistive technologies such as JAWS and NVDA screen readers for Windows, VoiceOver for MacOS, Magnifying software such as ZoomText, Braille Display, and more.
These are the main areas weβre focusing on:
- Keyboard-friendly interfaces.
- Screen reader navigation.
- Focus visibility.
- Sufficient color contrasts in our Light and Dark themes.
- Distinguishable font sizes.
As part of our ongoing process, we empower our employees to become accessibility champions, communicate with users with a wide range of abilities to receive and implement their feedback and integrate accessibility into regular development & design processes. Our first mission is to allow people with a wide range of abilities to consume content, easily navigate, and complete core workflows.
We plan to be fully conformant by 2025.
Website
On our website, we are in the process of making our website accessible and compliant with international standards such as the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 level AA.
Our efforts, designed to improve the user experience of users with a wide range of abilities, including the following elements:
- Screen reader compatibility: We have created a site that works well with different screen readers, allowing users to consume the same content in an audio format rather than text.
- Keyboard navigation: All menus, buttons, and forms are accessible from the keyboard. Use the Tab key to navigate forward and Shift + Tab to navigate backward.
- Images: We have applied descriptive alternative text to images throughout the website (and images of text) and hidden decorative images from screen readers.
- Headings: We have used clear headings to communicate the organization of the content on the page and to help screen reader users to navigate the page content.
- Links: We have provided descriptive link texts so users can easily understand their purpose and where they lead.
- Use of ARIA: We used Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) to make our Web content more accessible to people with a wide range of abilities. ARIA helps in particular when the website provides dynamic content and advanced user interface controls.
- Visual Design: All pages and content may be enlarged using standard browser controls or screen magnification software. Text on pages is designed to have sufficient contrast with its background.
