Accessibility Policies

Megacity Review is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for persons with disabilities. Measures have been taken to ensure that you are able to:

  • Resize text, adjust text spacing, and change fonts by adjusting browser settings (for example, this can be done in the appearance settings in Chrome or in Firefox’s preferences).
     

  • Have sufficient color contrast on all areas of the site. You can change colors by adjusting the browser settings. Typically this can be done in the appearance settings, such as the font and color preferences in Firefox. There are also plug-ins that work with certain browsers, such as Change Colors on Google Chrome.
     

  • Navigate the website using just a keyboard and access all interactive elements.
     

  • Skip directly to main content and skip long lists of links.
     

  • Zoom in at least 200%. Text will reflow so it can be presented without loss of information or functionality.
     

  • Use the content in your desired orientation. Both landscape and portrait layouts will work responsively with the content.
     

  • Listen and use the website with a screen reader (ex. NVDA, VoiceOver, JAWS). All functionality within the Megacity Review platform is accessible to these technologies.
     

  • Understand page hierarchy due to proper heading structure and the reading order being set correctly.
     

  • Utilize text-to-speech tools on the platform and with PDF content. There are many browser plug-in tools (such as Natural Reader for Chrome) that work on Megacity Review. Some technology has text-to-speech software built into the device’s accessibility settings.
     

  • Access alternative text for images that are a part of the interface. Content contributed directly by Megacity Review participating institutions and users (referred to as Community Collections) will display any supplied alternative text and descriptions of content.
     

  • Understand link destinations without surrounding context.

We regularly use automated checks and manual audits to evaluate and measure the accessibility of the site.

We have a single point of contact on our platform, which helps us to increase speed and turnaround time with support requests from all our users. Accessibility tickets are prioritized in this system and put to the top of our workflow.
 

Please contact us if you need content in an alternative format, find an accessibility issue with the website, or need general assistance. You can do this via phone, chat, or email at support@megacityreview.org.
