Opinion Stage items respondent experience meets WCAG 2.1, Level AA standards. In simpler terms, this compliance ensures that users who rely on assistive technologies can fully complete your items.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) were established to enhance the accessibility of web content for people with disabilities. While the guidelines may not address every specific need of all users with disabilities, they do provide standards for improving accessibility on both desktop and mobile devices.
What to do to keep your items accessible?
Use an accessible color theme
All Opinion Stage built-in color themes used in Opinion Stage are accessible, so if you use them, you should be fine. If creating a custom theme, verify it is accessible using the WebAIM accessibility tool.
Add alt text to images
Most operating systems include a screen reader to help people with visual impairment.
You should add alt text for all the images you add to your items so that screen readers know what they are about. You can do that by clicking the configuration icon on the image and then typing the image alt text.
Use hyperlinks
When you add links to your items, use a hyperlink that states what the link is about.
Use accessible videos
Opinion Stage supports adding YouTube & Vimeo videos to your items. To make them accessible, make sure closed captions are turned on.
