At Vable, we believe that every user should be able to interact with our platforms in a way that works best for them. That’s why we continuously evolve both our administrator and end-user platforms with accessibility, adaptability, and usability at the forefront of our design principles.
Accessibility isn’t an afterthought at Vable - it’s embedded into how we design, test, and deliver every feature. We are guided by accessibility best practices and the principles outlined in WCAG 2.1 AA. As part of our broader commitment to inclusive design, our enhancements help ensure both admin and end-user interfaces better support a wide range of user needs - visually, interactively, and functionally.
Designed With Assistive Technology in Mind
We’re evolving our platforms to better support a variety of accessibility needs:
-
Keyboard-only navigation to move through the interface efficiently without the need for a mouse or trackpad
-
Strong visual hierarchies and more accessible interface contrast ratios
-
Clear and consistent ARIA labels on interactive elements,
-
Improved HTML structure to support logical keyboard tab order,
-
Headings and captions on tables for better context,
-
Focus indicators to show which element is active,
-
Clear state change messages (e.g. success messages),
-
And full operability at 200% zoom across all main pages.
These ongoing enhancements create a more predictable and intelligible experience for users who depend on assistive technology to interact with digital platforms.
A Practical and Evolving Approach
Accessibility isn’t a destination - it’s a design philosophy. As we continue building and refining the Vable platforms, we’ll keep aligning our decisions with evolving best practices, real-world usage insights, and thoughtful prioritisation.
Many of our improvements are shaped by direct client feedback, and we’re grateful to the individuals who help inform our roadmap through shared experiences and thoughtful suggestions.
What’s Next?
Accessibility work never truly finishes - and that’s the point. As we continue to develop new features and refine existing ones, inclusive design will remain a guiding principle. We’ll keep listening, testing, and iterating to ensure that our platforms work better for everyone, in every context.
