Fortified ID aims to make applications that are usable for all.
Fortified ID uses the guidelines of WCAG 2.1 to make content more accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities.
WCAG defines four principles that provides the foundation of making a website/application accessible: that it is Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust.
Examples of how Fortified user interfaces are designed according with accessibility/a11y in mind:
1. Perceivable – Information and user interface components must be presented in ways that users can perceive. For example, providing alternative text for images and ensuring clear color contrasts.
2. Operable – The user interface and navigation must be usable by all, regardless of physical or cognitive ability. This includes keyboard navigation support and avoiding content that may trigger seizures or other health issues.
3. Understandable – Content and interface must be understandable for users, which means clear language, predictable navigation, and explanations where necessary.
4. Robust – Content must be robust enough to work with a variety of assistive technologies and future user agents.
