Award winning Project
Accessibility, Diversity, and Inclusion
I am incredibly honored to showcase our award-winning project, recognised at the Axel Springer D&I Awards 2022 under the Inspiring Initiative category. Our commitment to Accessibility, a core value encapsulated by #WeRadicallyInclude, has been the driving force behind our efforts to champion Diversity and Inclusion. Being shortlisted in this prestigious category marked a significant milestone in our journey towards fostering accessibility.
Understanding the essence of accessibility is integral to our creative process, and our presence at the D&I awards spotlighted the strides we’ve made in prioritising email accessibility within the UK business and the broader Axel Springer Group.
Our dedication to accessibility has resulted in the implementation of several key features, including:
- Left-aligned paragraphs to help candidates navigate through emails with ease and reduce the risk of confusion.
- Code hierarchy implemented for screen readers to convert into synthetic speech or braille.
- Color-contrast and dark-mode options approved to aid candidates who may be sensitive to light or have a related low vision disorder.
- A minimum font size of 15px to further assist any candidate who may suffer from some form of visual impairment.
- CTA buttons with a thumb size of 45×45 pixels for maximum clickability to assist candidates with any physical disability.
- Descriptive alt tag text to once again give the best user experience for any candidate who may suffer from a visual disability.
This recognition reaffirms our dedication to making a positive impact through accessibility and inclusion, propelling us forward on our journey of creative innovation.
