For websites, AODA compliance is part of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0), which set standards for accessibility. Specifically, these standards fall under Level AA compliance. Here’s what this involves:
Text Accessibility
• Readable fonts: Use high-contrast text and background colours for readability (e.g., black text on a white background).
• Scalable text: Users should be able to resize text without loss of content or functionality.
• Text alternatives: Provide text descriptions (alt text) for all images, videos, and audio content for screen reader users.
Keyboard Navigation
Ensure your website can be navigated using only a keyboard (e.g., for people with limited mobility who cannot use a mouse). This includes being able to access all links, forms, and buttons via the keyboard.
Forms and Input Fields
• Label form fields clearly and ensure they’re accessible with screen readers.
• Provide error messages and instructions if users make mistakes while filling out forms.
Video and Audio Content
• Provide captions for videos and transcripts for audio content, making them accessible for users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
• Make sure multimedia content (like video players or audio players) is fully accessible to people using assistive technologies.
Website Structure and Navigation
• Ensure your website has a clear structure with easy-to-use navigation, and that headings are used correctly to create a logical flow.
• Skip navigation links: Allow users to skip repetitive content, like menus, to get straight to the main content.
Regular Accessibility Audits
Regularly audit your website for accessibility issues and make necessary adjustments. This could include using tools like the WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool or Google Lighthouse for periodic assessments.
We are committed to sustainability and exclusively use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for you, your employees, and your customers. You’re making a responsible choice for the planet and future generations.
