Accessibly App is committed to making sites accessible for all, including people with disabilities. We are continuously improving the service we provide through our app to comply with increased accessibility standards, guidelines, and to make the browsing experience better for everyone.
The app uses the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defined requirements to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Accessibly App is following the best guidelines and is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA.
Accessibly App is an app supported in Shopify and Wordpress environments. The app relies on the following technologies:
HTML
CSS
JavaScript
NodeJs
MongoDB
When a site has Accessibly App i ac-h4 installed, the website can be adjusted with keyboard navigation using the “tab” key (WCAG 2.1/2.1.1). Additionally, see the list of all provided Accessibly App features and tools for better website experience:
This feature enables users to enhance the size of the text to up to three times the original text for better text readability.
Makes the cursor bigger and more prominent. Increases the size for better site browsing.
Invert the colors of the website content. For those with decreased vision, the high contrast greatly helps to read the site better.
This feature lets users manually select from two options: to enhance the contrast of the website or to decrease the contrast.
This feature lets users update the brightness on the site. The content can either be made brighter or darker.
Users can turn on grayscale, making the website content appear only in shades of gray. This benefits people with visual impairment.
Add a supportive reading line to the site.
Convert the fonts available on-site to one of the most easily readable fonts: Helvetica.
Ability to read alt text of images. As of now, our tool has added a feature where alt descriptions for images without them are generated using Google's Vision AI. In the event that you haven't manually written these image descriptions yourself, this greatly helps people with visual impairment browse your site.
Add labels to images that contain a written description of the image.
Highlight links to make them more prominent.
Hide images on the site. This provides better site readability for people with visual impairment.
A feature that allows a voice to read the text on your site out loud to visitors.
We always try to update our services and operate in the best possible manner to benefit all of our clients and their site visitors.
We cannot control or correct problems with third-party sites, but please let us know if you encounter difficulty with any sites we link to so we can pass the information along to the site owners. You may also want to address your concerns directly to these third parties.
Why did you decide to study contemporary dance?
Because I feel Contemporary Dance has this freedom in which you can explore anything you feel, think, or desire.
What do you enjoy about training in Leeds at NSCD?
I enjoy that there is always something going on, always opportunities, always performances, a lot of students’ work that is inspiring. The variety of dance you study is so wide, therefore you become stronger, more versatile and you are always learning something new.
What is life as a dance student like?
Very physical, stressful, but amazing. You spend your time with people who have the same passion as you, and you get to learn from them, learn what their thoughts are about the world, about dance, and learn new ways of moving. You get to work and learn from inspiring teachers, who are interested in you not only as a performer, but also as a person, therefore, you can have this connection in which you can really be interested in what they are teaching, making you more open to learning new things, and really achieving your best.
What are the highlights of your time at NSCD so far?
Working with other students in their work. Choreographing my own work, and learning new ways of moving. Also, finding the freedom in styles I found initially hard to relax into. And lastly, I have really enjoyed rehearsal period, as it is a really amazing, fun process of creating a piece; I get to become closer to my class mates, which has opened to new friendships, and new collaborations.
What are your career goals?
I aspire to be a choreographer in the future, to create my own work and hopefully solidify a company and tour. Before this, I would love to be a performer, I have a few companies in mind that I would love to work with, e.g Hofesh Schecter, Punchdrunk, Jasmin Vardimon, Batsheva Company, and many more.
What advice would you give to people thinking of studying contemporary dance?
To not be afraid of trying new things and failing, because the more you try the better you will become and eventually you will get it. And do not feel like you have to love everything you study, sometimes you will have preferences in style and a way or moving, but work equally as hard in your least favoured areas to your most favoured areas.
