Web Accessibility Policy

Accessibility Statement

At RELAYTO, we are dedicated to offering a platform that allows organizations to easily create digital experiences which are visually appealing on any device. Equally important, however, is making sure that this content is accessible to all.

This is why we have pledged to constantly enhance the accessibility of the RELAYTO user interface by adhering to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) v2.1 and by incorporating these guidelines in every new feature we introduce.

What are the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines?

The WCAG is a set of web accessibility standards issued by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the leading international organization for internet standards. These guidelines aim to make web content more accessible, particularly for individuals with disabilities.

WCAG

With WCAG’s latest version (2.1) being published in June 2018, these guidelines have evolved since their inception and are now adopted and recognized internationally. As a result, other government policies related to accessibility have come into effect as well, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (508) in the United States, and the Web and Mobile Accessibility Directive in the European Union. These are based on (or refer to) the WCAG.

Our commitment to accessibility

Accessibility guidelines like WCAG live at the very core of our platform. RELAYTO experiences are built with standard programming languages that were developed with accessibility in mind (e.g., HTML5 and CSS).
