Accessibility on Fellow Intranet

At Fellow Intranet, we are committed to making our platform accessible to everyone, including users with disabilities. Ensuring that all individuals can easily use and interact with our platform is a priority, and we continuously work on improving accessibility features to meet the highest standards.

What is Accessibility?

Accessibility refers to modifications that make programs, websites, or products usable for people with disabilities. When a product or service is designed to be accessible, it ensures that everyone, regardless of their abilities, can fully engage with it. This is often guided by principles like the WCAG2 guidelines, which are internationally recognized standards for web accessibility.

Learning More About Accessibility

To understand and implement accessibility, it's important to become familiar with the core principles and guidelines. A great starting point is the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (W3), which offers a free introductory course on web accessibility, especially tailored for web developers and content creators.

Our Accessibility Enhancements

At Fellow Intranet, we have recently introduced several updates to make our platform more accessible. These improvements are part of our ongoing commitment to providing an inclusive digital environment for all users. Here are some of the key accessibility enhancements:

  • Improved Keyboard Navigation: Users can now navigate the platform more efficiently using just the keyboard, without relying on a mouse.
  • Enhanced Screen Reader Support: Significant improvements have been made to ensure smoother interactions between our platform and screen readers, helping users with visual impairments.
  • Color Contrast Adjustments: We have reviewed and optimized color contrasts across the platform to ensure that content is easily readable for users with visual difficulties.
  • Form Accessibility: All forms on the platform now include improved labels and error messages, making them easier to use with assistive technologies and more understandable.

Our Goal: WCAG 2.2 Certification

We are actively working towards full compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, with a target for early 2025. These guidelines provide a comprehensive framework for making web content accessible to a wide range of users, including people with disabilities.

At Fellow Intranet, we view accessibility as a continuous journey. It is not simply a one-time effort but a consistent process of improvement. Our product development team will continue prioritizing accessibility in future updates to ensure that our platform is as inclusive as possible.
