Accessibility Statement

Our commitment to making Fides Bridge accessible to all users.

Last updated: January 2023

At Fides Bridge, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone, and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Fides Bridge is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Accessibility Features

Fides Bridge includes the following accessibility features:

Keyboard Navigation

All interactive elements are accessible via keyboard, with visible focus indicators to help users navigate.

Text Alternatives

We provide text alternatives for non-text content, including images, icons, and visual elements.

Color Contrast

We strive to maintain sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds to ensure readability.

Responsive Design

Our interface adapts to different screen sizes and allows for text resizing without loss of functionality.

Semantic Structure

We use proper headings, landmarks, and semantic HTML to improve navigation for screen reader users.

ARIA Attributes

Where necessary, we implement ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) to enhance accessibility.

Known Limitations

Despite our efforts to ensure accessibility, there may be some limitations:

  • Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible.
