Accessibility Statement

Vome is committed to ensuring that our website, web application, and mobile applications are accessible to people of all abilities. We believe that volunteer management software should be usable by everyone, including volunteers, coordinators, and administrators, regardless of how they interact with the web.

Conformance status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. Vome aims to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA across our public website (https://vomevolunteer.com) and our authenticated product experience on web and mobile.

Because WCAG 2.1 Level AA includes all WCAG 2.0 Level AA success criteria, conformance to it also aligns with the technical accessibility requirements referenced by Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act (which adopts WCAG 2.0 Level AA), the Accessible Canada Act, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), and EN 301 549 in the European Union.

What we do to keep Vome accessible

• In-product Accessibility Settings panel: Signed-in users can open an Accessibility Settings panel from the main navigation to personalize their experience. The panel includes:
  • Display: high-contrast mode and color scheme (system, light, dark).
  • Font: independent sliders (75%–200%) for page zoom, line height, letter spacing, and word spacing.
  • Motion: a reduce-motion toggle that suppresses non-essential animations and transitions.
  • Highlights: optional line or word reading highlights to support focus while reading.
  • Cursor: default, large, and extra-large cursor sizes.
  • Reading Tools: a screen-reader-optimized mode.
  Preferences are saved to each user's account and applied automatically on every device they sign in from. A one-click reset returns all settings to default.
• Design system: We design our components with semantic HTML, accessible labels, visible focus states, and color contrast targeted at WCAG 2.1 AA ratios.
• Keyboard support: We work to ensure interactive elements such as navigation, forms, dialogs, calendars, and schedules can be operated with a keyboard alone.
• Screen reader support: We aim to expose appropriate roles, names, and states on interactive components so assistive technology can announce them correctly.
• Continuous review: Accessibility is part of our design and code review process, and we evaluate new features against WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria before release.
• Internationalization: Vome supports English and French, with language attributes set on each page so screen readers pronounce content correctly.

Compatibility

Vome is designed to be compatible with current versions of major browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) on desktop and mobile, in combination with common assistive technologies including NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.

Known limitations

Despite our best efforts, some content or interactions may not yet be fully accessible. Areas we are actively improving include user-uploaded media (where alternative text depends on the uploader) and certain third-party integrations embedded within our product. If you encounter a barrier, please let us know so we can prioritize a fix.
