Accessibility Update – Fall 2025
We continue on our path to improve accessibility throughout our web application. This quarter we added the following improvements:
Product Designers completed CPCC accessibility training
Our design team has gained expertise by completing a rigorous training curriculum curated by the IAAP (International Association of Accessibility Professionals). One member of the Design team has already passed the CPACC exam and is certified.

Underlined text links
To improve the accessibility of text links and buttons, we’ve begun adding an underline to them to match default web conventions and add visual indication besides just font color. This will roll out across the entire app over the following months.
Before: this was a link
Now: this is a link
WCAG 2.0 Reference: 1.4.1 Use of Color
Increased contrast for muted text
All text now has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 to conform with WCAG 2.0 AA level, including small help text.
WCAG 2.0 Reference: 1.4.3 Contrast
Replacing inaccessible collapsible elements
One of our collapsible elements (aka “window shade”) opens to reveal information to the user. This component doesn’t announce it’s open or closed states to assistive technologies. With browser support now widely available, we’re moving towards using a standard detail-summary component. The transition to the new updated component will roll out across the entire app over the following months.
WebAIM explanation: Disclosure
3rd party accessibility audit begun
We’ve begun discussions with an accessibility expert to perform an assessment and create a plan to address issues with UI components. This will help us prioritize work based on highest impact for reaching AA level compliance.
Accessibility is important to us at Addigy. To support all of our customers, we continue with the goal of maintaining AA compliance for our website, web app, and supporting products. Find out more about our commitment to accessibility.
