Accessibility

Tovyalla is used in offices and on job sites, by people on desktops and on phones, and we want it to be usable by everyone who works at a company that subscribes. We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA. We do not claim full conformance: the product changes every week, and the limitations below are real.

• Every screen can be operated from the keyboard alone: forms, dialogs, menus, tables and the navigation. Dialogs trap focus while open and hand it back when they close.
• Focus is always visible — a consistent ring on every control, on every background.
• Form controls carry labels that assistive technology reads, and errors are announced next to the field they are about as well as at the top of the form.
• Text and controls meet the AA contrast ratio on the colours the product is built from, in light and dark mode.
• Animation is reduced to near nothing when your system asks for reduced motion.
• The application works at 400 pixels wide and at 200% browser zoom without horizontal scrolling of the page itself; wide tables scroll within their own frame.
• The sign-in, sign-up and record-entry screens are checked against WCAG 2.1 A and AA rules on every build, so a regression fails the build rather than reaching you.

• Generated PDFs — proposals, contracts, change orders and exports — are not tagged PDFs (PDF/UA). A screen reader can read the text, but headings and tables are not marked up as such.
• Charts on the dashboard are drawn as graphics. Each has a table alternative in the print view, and the figures they plot appear as numbers on the same page.
• Maps are provided by a third-party mapping library. The map can be panned and zoomed from the keyboard and each marker is named for its job, but the map tiles themselves have no text alternative; the project list carries the same addresses.
• Third-party pages we send you to — Stripe Checkout and the Stripe billing portal, and BoldSign’s signing pages — are not ours, and we cannot change how they are built.

If any part of Tovyalla is hard for you to use, tell us. Email support@tovyalla.com with the page and what happened, and we will reply within 5 business days. If you need something in a different format in the meantime — a document as plain text, for example — ask and we will provide it.
