What is Accessibility? #
Accessibility is about making a system or environment more accessible for use, be that adjusting language, building accessibility ramps, or providing hearing aids. What this means for software accessibility is making the software more user friendly by going beyond what we would consider standard access to account for the potential user disabilities and make additions to our software to make their experience of it as easy as practically possible.
CrowdComms Platform #
The CrowdComms platform is customisable, we can create custom home screens outside of our standard templates following your specific design requirements. Text size can be increased throughout and as the platform is responsive, users can zoom in where needed without compromising experience.
The below accessibility settings can be enabled to your platform. These will be applied for all users if enabled.
- Line height (line spacing) to at least 1.5 times the font size
- Letter spacing (tracking) to at least 0.12 times the font size
- Word spacing to at least 0.16 times the font size
- Blocks of text are no more than 80 characters wide
- Minimum 14 point text size access the platform
