Enabling reporting accessibility
Reportl is a design and publishing platform purpose-built to enable the digitisation of corporate and sustainability reporting. By producing all report formats digital-first (i.e. from native XHTML), Reportl enables companies and their design teams to deliver multiple formats that are all accessible (PDF, online reports and digital filings).
Reportl accessibility capabilities include:
- Alt tags
- Semantic heading structure (H1-H6) is fully enabled in Reportl. This also relies on the design of the project adhering to strict heading hierarchies and structures, which is not always possible in complex reporting content.
- Fully responsive online and filing versions for all devices and browsers (text reflow WCAG 1.4.10).
- Allows zoom or enlarge text (again with text reflow).
- Accessible PDF (no need for a separate process/cost/delay).
- Table structures.
- HTML screen-readable graphics (when built within Reportl. i.e. graphics not always in an SVG/EPS which are less accessible).
- Video subtitles/closed captions (hosted using Vimeo, YouTube etc).
- Accessibility checks in the system.
We are currently working on the following accessibility functions:
- Keyboard controls (for online/filing versions).
