Our Commitment
Elevate 360 is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards.
Feedback and growth are at the heart of what we do—and that includes feedback about our own platform. We welcome your input on how we can improve accessibility.
Conformance Status
WCAG 2.1 Level AA Compliant
Elevate 360 conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with disabilities.
Accessibility Features
Keyboard Navigation
All functionality is available using a keyboard. Press Tab to navigate between interactive elements and Enter or Space to activate.
Skip Navigation
A "Skip to main content" link appears when you press Tab on any page, allowing keyboard users to bypass navigation and jump directly to the main content.
Focus Indicators
All interactive elements display a clear blue outline (2px solid #006BA6) when focused, making it easy to see where you are on the page when navigating with a keyboard.
Screen Reader Support
We use semantic HTML, ARIA labels, and proper heading structure to ensure compatibility with screen readers. All images include descriptive alternative text.
Color Contrast
All text meets WCAG AA contrast ratio requirements (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text). We use brand-compliant color variants specifically designed for readability.
Reduced Motion
We respect your system's motion preferences. If you've enabled "reduce motion" in your operating system, animations and transitions are minimized throughout the platform.
Responsive Design
The platform works on devices of all sizes, from mobile phones to desktop monitors, and supports browser zoom up to 200% without loss of functionality.
