Our Commitment to Web Accessibility

Generate is committed to providing a fully accessible website experience for all users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, screen enlargement software, and alternative keyboard input devices to navigate the web.

Ongoing Efforts to Ensure Accessibility

We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 as our guiding principle for determining accessibility. These are internationally agreed-upon standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content useable. As we add new pages and functionality to our website, all designs, code, and content entry practices are checked against these standards.

Website accessibility is an ongoing process. We continually test content and features for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and remediate any issues to ensure we meet or exceed the standards. Where possible, we strive to meet AAA success criteria in addition to AA success criteria.

Testing of our website is performed by our team members using industry-standard tools such as the Accessibility Checker WordPress Plugin, colour contrast analysers, keyboard-only navigation techniques, and Flesch-Kincaid readability tests.

Accessibility Features On Our Website

The following is a list of items we have included in our website to improve its accessibility:

  • Our website design has a mobile-responsive version with appropriately sized tap-targets.
  • We have thoughtfully selected a font that has marked differences in commonly ambiguous characters, such as the number 1, lowercase l, and uppercase I.
  • Our brand colours were intentionally selected for colour contrast and meet AA requirements.
  • Our website declares a language in the header.
  • All images and other non-text elements have appropriate alternative text associated with them.

This is part of our broader effort to make everyone’s experience at GeneraTe a welcoming and enjoyable one.
