Embracing Inclusion with the GLIDE Accessibility Framework

Introduction

At GLIDE, we are passionate about creating an inclusive digital world where everyone can access information and services without barriers. Our commitment to accessibility is woven into the very fabric of our web design and development process. This accessibility statement reflects our dedication to providing an exceptional web experience for all users, regardless of their abilities.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Accessibility is not an afterthought for us; it’s a core principle that guides our every decision. We take great pride in our proprietary GLIDE Accessibility Framework, which empowers us to build websites that embrace diversity and cater to users with a wide range of abilities.

The GLIDE Accessibility Framework

Our comprehensive GLIDE Accessibility Framework encompasses a set of guidelines, tools, and practices that ensure our websites adhere to the highest accessibility standards. From inception to completion, every phase and role in our projects plays an integral part in implementing accessibility best practices.

Designing for Everyone

We believe in user-centric design, focusing on simplicity, consistency, and intuitive navigation. Our websites are thoughtfully crafted to provide a seamless experience for all users, allowing them to find and interact with content effortlessly.

Multimedia and Sensory Support

To accommodate users with visual or hearing impairments, all multimedia content, such as images, audio, and video, is provided with appropriate alternative text or captions, making information accessible to everyone.

Enhanced Navigation

The GLIDE Accessibility Framework ensures that our website is easy to navigate. Clear headings, meaningful link text, and intuitive site structure enable users of all abilities to find what they need efficiently.

Assistive Technology Compatibility

We understand the importance of assistive technologies in enabling users with disabilities to access the web. Our website has been thoroughly tested with screen readers, keyboard navigation, and other assistive tools to ensure compatibility and usability. We’ve also partnered with accessiBe to provide an accessibility widget for additional customization.

User Testing and Continuous Improvement

Our commitment to accessibility extends beyond guidelines. We conduct regular user testing, actively involving individuals with disabilities. Feedback from users is invaluable, empowering us to continuously improve our websites’ accessibility.

Scope of Accessibility

At GLIDE, accessibility is not limited to certain pages; it encompasses every aspect of our websites. Whether you explore our services, read our blog, or navigate through our contact page, we ensure equal access and a seamless experience for all.

Conformance Status

We diligently adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as the benchmark for our accessibility efforts. Our commitment is unwavering, and we continuously strive to maintain accessibility as our websites evolve.
