Important new improvements and fixes coming to CorpU on February 28th

Accessibility Improvements

The February 28th release of CorpU delivers an improved email experience that now adheres to the accessibility guidelines and principles which are set by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. The assistive technologies VoiceOver and Lighthouse are used to test the end-user experience for accessibility and quality. Web Content Accessibility Guidelines – are referenceable technical standards that explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities – are stable. These guidelines are organized around the following four principles, which lay the necessary foundation for anyone to access and use web content. These guidelines ensure all content is:

  • Perceivable - all users must be able to perceive the information being presented
  • Operable - all users must be able to operate the interface
  • Understandable - all users must be able to understand and easily operate the interface
  • Robust - all platform features throughout the participant experience should remain accessible

To learn more about the WCAG principles and standards, visit the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Overview.
