Atlas and Web Accessibility

Ensuring Accessibility: A Commitment to Inclusivity

In today's digital landscape, ensuring that your online platforms are accessible to all customers and employees is more crucial than ever. At Clearpeople, we recognize the importance of accessibility and continuously strive to enhance the accessibility of Atlas. Here's how we're making it happen.

Our approach

Accessibility Tools: We leverage a variety of accessibility tools to support our accessibility initiatives. These tools include Accessibility Insights for web, Silktide and Microsoft Narrator. Each tool offers unique features and capabilities that aid in assessing and improving the accessibility of Atlas.

Accessibility Review Process: Accessibility is embedded into our development process from the start. We conduct regular accessibility assessments using tools like Accessibility Insights for web. These assessments help us identify and address accessibility issues throughout the development lifecycle, ensuring that Atlas meets accessibility standards.

Team Training: Accessibility is a shared responsibility across our entire team. To foster a culture of accessibility, we provide comprehensive training on accessibility fundamentals through Microsoft's Learn platform. This ensures that every member of our team, from finance to developers, understands the importance of accessibility and how to contribute to our accessibility goals.
