Need better accessibility support!

I do not see a way to add alt tags to images.
I cannot set the line length by device/viewport.
Some of your UI's color combinations, I believe, would fail accessibility contrast checker.
I cannot navigate your authoring environment using keyboard navigation. This, then also rules out ability to use screenreader in authoring environment.

Hi @Aimeedanger

Thanks so much for getting in touch. We want zeroheight to be an inclusive platform and therefore we're working towards bringing accessibility in line with WCAG standards. We're currently working towards WCAG 2.0 AA for our viewing mode. For editor mode, we're following best practices where possible and making improvements monthly.

I do not see a way to add alt tags to images.

This can currently be achieved by using captions. The image caption will display as the alt text. However we are working on improving this so the alt can be set separately. This should be released in the next few months.

Thanks for this one, I will add it to the list. For precision, are you referring to WCAG 2.0 1.4.8 or 1.4.10?

We are working towards fixing this in editor mode. For viewer mode, using customisation, it should be possible to achieve AA compliance for colors.

Thanks - again we have this on our backlog and will work to improve navigation of editor mode. Keyboard navigation is supported in viewer mode.
