The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines

(WCAG) have Three levels of accessibility: A, AA and AAA. Arlo has chosen Level AA as our initial target, incorporating the following accessibility features:
  • Make it easy to enlarge pages and content using standard browser controls or screen magnification software, and enchanting text to have a high contrast for better readability.
  • Ensuring Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) is available to all persons, especially for dynamic content and advanced features.
  • Updating all links have descriptive texts, so you know exactly where they will take you.
  • Ensure all headings are clear, and help you understand and navigate the content on each page.
  • Providing descriptive text for all images, and decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
  • Implementing a "Skip to Main Content" link that will jump straight to the main part of the page, skipping repetitive sections.
  • Keyboard navigation that allows you to navigate all menus, buttons, and forms using just your keyboard with the Tab key and Shift + Tab.
  • Screen reader compatibility so our website platform works seamlessly with screen readers, ensuring you can both listen to content and read it.

Areas of accessiblity in Arlo

To make our platform and website platform more accessible, we are rolling out a series of enhancements across different products and services in stages. The stages we’re committed to will be listed on this page, and will evolve over time as we continue to identify any new areas of the platform that can be made more accessible.

Website Platform

We've ensured our website platform is easier to navigate and more enjoyable for everyone to use. Navigation menus have been simplified so that they’re consistent and easy to explore, whether you’re using a screen reader or just your keyboard.

Secondly, the team has added descriptive alt text to non-decorative images, icons, and multimedia content, so users who rely on assistive technologies can access the information they need without any hassle.

Default color schemes and contrast have been used to make sure that everything on the site is clear and easy to read, especially for those with visual impairments. No matter what device you’re using our website is be fully responsive and accessible, ensuring a seamless experience for everyone.

Customer Portal

It is now easier for everyone to manage their accounts and access course information through our customer portal. We’ve improved the navigation menus to be consistent and user-friendly, allowing you to easily tab through all interactive elements without needing a mouse.

We’ve also added descriptive alt text to non-decorative images and multimedia content, making sure that users who rely on assistive technologies can navigate smoothly. Additionally, we’ve adjusted our color schemes and contrast for better readability, and ensured that all notifications are clear and accessible, with text alternatives for visual alerts.

Checkout

Accessibility in the checkout is equally as important. Whether you're making visual changes, updating flows or your customers are purchasing through it - it's important that everyone can use it seamlessly.

We've made changes so everyone can easily navigate forms and buttons using just a keyboard. We’ve also added clear labels and instructions to help guide usersthrough the process, with easy-to-understand error messages for extra support.

Elearning

Elearning is often accessed by a range of users on various different devices, often away from the classroom, workshop or seminar as self-paced learning.

Our elearning solution was reviewed and audited by an external contractor to ensure we're meeting accessibility requirements across the board, that align with best practises also used throughout the rest of the Arlo platform.
