Accessibility in digital tools is essential to ensure equal participation for all users. People with visual, auditory, or mobility impairments often encounter barriers such as hard-to-read fonts or interfaces that cannot be navigated without a mouse. Unclear structures or insufficient contrasts also hinder usability.
We strive to prevent these issues in Stackfield by implementing extensive measures to systematically eliminate digital barriers and enable a more inclusive experience for all.
Below, we explain how we have achieved this. If you still notice areas that present accessibility barriers, please contact us.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are the international standard for accessible digital content. They define clear guidelines on perceivability, operability, understandability, and robustness of web applications. The Accessible Information Technology Ordinance (BITV 2.0) implements these requirements in Germany and is based on WCAG. By following these standards, digital tools can be designed to be accessible to people with different disabilities, forming the foundation for an inclusive digital world.
During the development of Stackfield, we adhere to the aforementioned WCAG and BITV 2.0 guidelines to ensure the highest possible accessibility. These standards enable an objective assessment of accessibility, and by implementing them, we ensure that our tool is inclusive and user-friendly.
The Accessibility Mode optimizes usability for people with disabilities by facilitating keyboard navigation and improving compatibility with screen readers. Important functions remain accessible to everyone.
The contrast theme facilitates use for individuals with contrast perception impairments. The dark mode reduces eye strain, enhances readability in low-light environments, and may be more comfortable for people with light sensitivity.
Our tool is compatible with common screen readers, such as NVDA and JAWS, ensuring that blind and visually impaired users can access content and controls barrier-free. Optimized structures, alternative texts, and clear focus sequences ensure smooth navigation.
