More accessibility for all products

Even though others say different, accessibility is a very important good for software and the whole internet. Thus, I spend the last weeks in improving accessibility throughout all products from Epiphyt.

In my opinion, this is especially important nowadays, since it’s easier than ever to find good resources about accessibility and also to fight some guy’s personal opinion. The latter might be a coincidence, but I don’t want to be quiet about it.

Accessibility Conformance Reports

The main reason to check the product codes themselves was that I wanted to provide Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACR) for them. This is a rather standardized document format to tell others which parts of the own software are accessible, or at least partially accessible. Since I wanted a clean report without known issues, and since these reports require you to manual test the code anyways, I did. And I found a whole lot of issues, unfortunately …

In the end, Impressum got 6 accessibility-related fixes, as well as Impressum Plus, Embed Privacy got 7 fixes, Form Block got 9 fixes, Form Block Pro even got 12 fixes, Block Control got 10 fixes, and Multisite Auto Language Switcher got 3 of them. Additionally, there were some other fixes, that were not directly only accessibility-related, since they could lead to an undesired user experience and (partly) broken functionality.

That being said, you can find all Accessibility Conformance Reports in the documentations by now:

If you still find (accessibility-related) issues within these products, please contact me. I want to provide a flawless experience for everyone and make them as accessible as possible. You can do this either via the contact page or via the email address within the imprint.
