Accessibility Statement
At RELAYTO, we are dedicated to offering a platform that allows organizations to easily create content experiences that 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) and by incorporating these guidelines in every new feature we introduce.
What are the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)?
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.
With the most recent version of WCAG (2.1) released in June 2018, these guidelines have undergone changes since their introduction and are now internationally accepted and recognized. As a result, various government policies on accessibility have been implemented, 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. All of these policies are based on or refer to the WCAG.
Why is accessibility important?
Approximately 15% of the global population lives with some form of disability, including visual, cognitive, auditory, physical, and speech disabilities which make certain tasks or interactions with the world - online or offline - more challenging. To address this, laws and guidelines (such as WCAG) have been established to ensure that individuals with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else.
Our commitment to accessibility
Accessibility guidelines like WCAG are at the heart of our platform. RELAYTO user interface is created using standard programming languages that have been designed with accessibility in mind (e.g., HTML5 and CSS). Furthermore, we provide our users with the tools to implement best practices such as headings to indicate text hierarchy, alt tags to describe images, language tags for proper interpretation by screen readers, and more.
At RELAYTO, we take accessibility extremely seriously. Together, we have evaluated the accessibility of content created on our platform. We are pleased to see that most elements already meet accessibility requirements. Areas that needed improvement have been addressed by RELAYTO and have resulted in additional enhancements. With RELAYTO, you can create accessible content experiences.
Creating accessible content experiences
RELAYTO is the leading platform for creating immersive content experiences. We provide our customers with the necessary tools and documentation to create accessible content. However, it is the responsibility of our customers to apply accessibility guidelines to the content experiences they create.
