Legend Management Software
Legend is committed to building accessible and engaging websites that users find enjoyable and effortless. We make use of BootStrap for our Web applications and ensure consistency by applying our style guides and best practice.
This commitment begins with our User Experience Architect designing prototypes that are accessible and can be used by our development team to produce compliant features. During the development phase the team utilise a range of standard tools which check for compliance against the WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Identified issues are assessed and resolved as appropriate.
Although not yet fully compliant Legend is committed to embedding accessibility at the heart of our processes and completing our journey to creating and maintaining accessible versions of our Mobile First Member Portal and Staff Back Office websites.
The ability in the Legend product to apply client branding and client content can introduce examples of non-compliance (e.g. insufficient contrast and a complex or confusing description) so we kindly ask that our clients play their part in ensuring conformance for their customers.
