Measures to Support Accessibility

LifterLMS is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. The entire LifterLMS team works to continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards.

LifterLMS takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of LifterLMS.com and accessibility of the open source software we maintain:

  • Include accessibility throughout our internal policies.
  • Provide continual accessibility training for our staff.
  • Assign clear accessibility goals and responsibilities.
  • Employ formal accessibility quality assurance methods.

Standards We Strive To Follow

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. The WCAG is an open standard for determining accessibility.

It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

AA compliance is considered good support for a website geared toward a global audience.

LifterLMS.com is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

We strive to meet the WCAG 2.1 level AA requirements in the open source software we maintain. Namely, the LifterLMS core plugin frontend screens when used with the WordPress Twenty Twenty-Four theme with no modifications to the theme’s default style, the open source plugin’s default styles and colors, and no other active plugins on the site.

Open source software runs exclusively on your website. We cannot ensure 100% compliance as every environment that sets up the LifterLMS open source software is unique and can be modified by the user who configures it. By using LifterLMS, you agree to the the open source software’s GPLv2 license. Please review the GPLv2 license to best understand this licensing agreement.
