We want everyone to be able to create a Nimanto invitation, and every guest to be able to read it, reply to it and get to the event, whatever device, assistive technology or ability they use.
The standard we work to
We aim for the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA across nimanto.com, the guest view of invitations, cards and Event Hub pages, our e-mails and the Nimanto apps. This is an ongoing effort, not a claim that every page meets every criterion today.
What we do
- Build pages with semantic headings, landmarks, labelled form fields and buttons, so screen readers and keyboards can find their way.
- Keep the RSVP, reservation and ticket steps usable by keyboard and screen reader, with visible focus and clear error messages.
- Respect your device’s “reduce motion” setting in falling effects and other animations, and we are extending it to every opening.
- Let text reflow and enlarge with your browser or phone settings, and check text contrast against our colour system.
- Keep an invitation’s details as real text, with dates, venues and directions as links, not painted into a picture.
- Check new features for accessibility before release and fix problems you report.
Known limits
- Content hosts make. Hosts choose their own words, photos, colours and fonts. A photo without a description, or light text on a busy picture, may be hard for some guests to read. We encourage hosts to keep details in text, and our designs keep the key facts as real text rather than painted into a picture.
- Painted artwork and animation. Design Genie artwork and themed openings are decorative, and the facts are in text. Some openings play before the details appear and do not yet shorten for “reduce motion”.
- Other services. Maps, YouTube players, payment pages, wallet passes and gift registries are provided by other companies and follow their own accessibility standards.
Tell us, and get help another way
If anything on Nimanto is hard to use, or you need an invitation, receipt or document in another format, write to [email protected] with the page and what got in the way. We reply within 5 business days, and if we cannot fix it straight away we will help you get what you need another way, such as replying to an invitation for you or sending its details as plain text.
