Accessibility for Events Calendar Pro?

[Brad Kamradt]

Hi. I’d like to consider Events Calendar Pro as our ujniversity events calendar platform, but we’ll need WCAG 2.0 AA compliance (or pretty darned close). What’s the current status of your accessibility efforts? Do you have a VPAT? THANKS!

Hi Brad!

Thanks for writing in! We’re addressing accessibility with The Events Calendar pretty aggressively at this time. We don’t have a VPAT but The Events Calendar itself is close to WCAG 2.0 AA compliant when used within an Accessible Theme.

The list view has the fewest errors in automated testing and we’ll be addressing some issues in upcoming maintenance releases that will get us even closer in other views.

Also, our services team has customized The Events Calendar for several sites that required WCAG 2.0 AA compliance, so that’s a possibility if you need a level of compliance that we don’t currently have ‘out of the box’.

I hope this helps answer your questions, let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Cheers,
Trisha

Thanks, Trisha. That does help, actually. Could you or someone else from Modern Tribe possibly reach out to me privately via email regarding what a customization engagement typically looks like in terms of cost and timeline? THANK YOU!

Hi Brad!

Thanks for considering The Events Calendar for your project. We’re committed to Accessibility and are making great strides in that area. We’ve got some pretty exciting changes planned as well so stay tuned! ?

Cheers,
