Cast It Reach is committed to making its websites accessible. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone, and applying the relevant accessibility standards.
In the creative phase, we focus on a wide range of elements to ensure we cater to various accessibility needs right from the concept stage, and we employ a set of robust best practices to ensure that our platforms are accessible and compliant, and genuinely usable for those with assistive technologies.
These guidelines explain how we make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user friendly for everyone.
What we are doing, and how we do it
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA and AAA). We’ve chosen Level AA as the target. We have developed our approach following best practices including:
- Using valid semantic HTML5 and ARIA tags, so it can easily be used by people using assistive technology such as screen readers.
- Taking into account colour contrast to conform to the WCAG AAA standard.
- Using audio cues.
- Text alternatives for non-decorative images.
- Keyboard accessibility.
- Dynamic content handling.
- User-friendly navigation including section headings to organise the content and focused elements being clearly highlighted.
- Font size, font legibility, plain English and other considerations to make reading straightforward.
Feedback on how we are doing
We actively seek user feedback and monitor our websites to refine our approach. We understand that accessibility is an ongoing effort and are always open to community input. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, please reach out to our team at support@castitreach.com.
