Accessibility at Quantive

We believe accessibility is a critical requirement and not an optional feature. Our approach to accessibility at Quantive closely aligns with our core principle of integrity and other values.

Because we build Quantive Results with accessibility at its foundation, we are giving our product designers and engineers a greater ability to deliver accessible product experiences for all users of Quantive Results.

Ensuring accessible solutions

To act on our firm commitment to accessibility, we take practical steps to ensure our solutions are accessible. This means that we integrate accessibility at every step of our creation cycle. In addition to formalizing our commitment to WCAG 2.1 AA conformance with an internal policy, we take the following actionable steps:

  • Provide education and training for our team.

  • Design with accessibility as a core requirement.

  • Conduct design reviews specifically focused on accessibility.

  • Ensure our code renders to the browser in a conformant way.

  • Use available accessibility automation.

  • Manually test our code with assistive technologies.

Accessible product design standards

Here at Quantive, we design our products with the principles of Universal Design in mind. These design principles have several important pillars for web accessibility:

  1. Equitable: The design is useful and accessible to people with diverse abilities. This means ensuring all users can access and use digital content, regardless of their abilities or disabilities.

  2. Flexible: The design provides multiple ways for users to interact and use the product. This means offering alternative ways to access information or interact with interface elements.

  3. Simple and intuitive: The design is easy to understand and use, regardless of the user's experience or background. This means making sure that the product has clear and consistent navigation, headings, and labels.

  4. Perceivable: The design presents information effectively to users, regardless of their sensory abilities. This means providing alternatives for non-text content, like images and multimedia, so that users with visual or auditory impairments can still understand the content.

  5. Tolerant of errors: The design minimizes hazards and adverse consequences of accidental or unintended actions. This means creating forms and interfaces that allow users to review and correct errors in their input.

  6. Low physical effort: The design can be used efficiently and comfortably, with minimal physical effort. This means designing interfaces that can be navigated using keyboard input alone, without relying solely on mouse interaction.

  7. Appropriately sized and spaced: The design provides adequate space for users to approach, reach, and manipulate objects. This means ensuring that clickable elements, buttons, and interactive components have sufficient spacing to be easily tapped or clicked.

  8. Distinguishable: The design provides the necessary contrast required for a user to see and interact with content. This means having clear separation of foreground from background, proper contrast ratio, and appropriate use of color.

  • Chrome with VoiceOver on macOS

Conformance status to WCAG

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and engineers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Quantive Results is on a defined path to be fully conformant with the accessibility standards of WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

Detailed conformance status is available in our VPAT located on the Accessibility commitment page.

Assessment approach

The Quantive team self-assesses the accessibility of Quantive Results by the following approaches:

  • Manual testing with assistive technologies

  • Use of available automated checks
