According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 16% of the global population has some form of disability, making digital accessibility more important than ever, ensuring that websites and applications are usable by everyone, regardless of ability.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) provide internationally recognized standards to make digital content more accessible to individuals with visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments.
Alex Solutions is committed to providing accessible software experiences for all our users. We recognize the importance of ensuring our applications are usable by individuals with diverse needs, including those with visual impairments and color blindness.
Our Approach to WCAG Compliance
New UI Development:
Accessibility is a core principle in our development process. All new user interface (UI) development is undertaken with a commitment to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, at a minimum wherever possible.
Our design and development teams follow established best practices to create a more inclusive user experience. We strive to ensure sufficient color contrast, implement robust keyboard navigation, provide alternative text for images and non-text content, and use semantic HTML with ARIA attributes to enhance accessibility. Every feature undergoes rigorous testing, combining automated tools with manual reviews, including screen reader testing.
Retrofitting Existing UI:
Accessibility isn’t just about new designs—it’s also about improving what already exists. Improvements are prioritized based on user feedback and a systematic review of our applications. This is an ongoing process, and we remain committed to continuously enhancing usability for all.
Continuous Improvement:
Staying up to date with the latest accessibility guidelines and best practices is a key priority for us. We conduct regular accessibility audits and testing to identify and address potential barriers. User feedback is invaluable, and we encourage anyone encountering accessibility challenges to reach out, helping us create a truly inclusive digital experience.
What This Means for You:
By adhering to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, we aim to provide a more inclusive and user-friendly experience for all our customers. This means an equitable access to our software for users to feel empowered to achieve their goals and shape the world of data.
If you have any questions or concerns about our accessibility efforts, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
