Accessibility

Designed for Everyone

Excellence in commerce requires a commitment to creating high-quality products that deliver outstanding user experiences (UX). MarketPush achieves this through a blend of visually appealing design, clear and effective language, and adherence to universal design principles that enhance inclusivity and accessibility.

We prioritize the development of products that meet the diverse needs of all users, including our clients, their customers, our developer partners, employees, and the wider tech community. It is crucial to ensure our products are accessible and beneficial to everyone, particularly those with disabilities.

Disabilities can affect mobility, vision, hearing, communication, learning, comprehension, and information processing. Therefore, it is essential to consider these diverse needs during product design and development to support varied user experiences.

Minimizing non-standard interactions

Users expect to interact with controls and content in ways that are consistent with their browser, platform, and any assistive technologies they use. While incorporating non-standard features can offer innovative ways to accomplish tasks, they can also present challenges.

For example, keyboard users typically expect to activate buttons using the enter/return key or space key. If a different key is required, clear instructions must be provided on how to use these buttons.

If non-standard interactions are necessary:

• Follow guidelines and best practices closely when designing, building, and testing custom features on your platform.
• Provide clear instructions to users on how to utilize the custom feature.
• Offer a standard method for accomplishing the task as an alternative.
• Support for Assistive Technology:
• Our components undergo thorough testing for accessibility, using both automated and manual techniques, to ensure compatibility with the latest assistive technologies.

This includes support for:

• Screen readers
• Speech recognition programs
• Technologies for those with low vision or color blindness
• Alternative keyboards
• Switch devices
• Tools to enhance readability
• Users can expect full accessibility when interacting with features developed using our components.

Coding Standards

MarketPush starts with web standards for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Features from the Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA or ARIA) specification are used to build functionality that is not available in native HTML.

Alternative Text

To help people who rely on assistive technologies, such as a screen reader or other text to speech programs, our components use alternative text for icons and images used to convey information and actions (like buttons and links).
