Inclusive Design
Overview
Sky's purpose is to bring better content and innovation to all of our customers. This includes customers with disabilities (such as vision, hearing, cognitive and physical impairments) as well as people who are neurodiverse. We design to universal inclusive and accessibility principles from the very beginning and throughout the process, which ensures that experiences are inclusive for all.
All styles, components and sections within Sky UI are built to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Level AA standards. Components are tested rigorously before they are added to the Design System. As long as implementation adheres to the usage guidelines, the components will comply with AA standards.
