Accessibility Statement
This accessibility statement applies to the August web portal at augustapp.com, the August app for iOS, and the August app for Android. These products are provided by Augur Technologies Ltd, trading as August.
We want as many people as possible to be able to use August, whatever their abilities. August is built for self-managing residential landlords, and we know that an accessible product is one that more of our customers can rely on with confidence. Accessibility is something we treat as part of building a good product rather than an afterthought.
Using August
We have designed our products so that, as far as possible, they work well with the accessibility tools built into your device and browser. Depending on the product you are using, you should be able to change colours, contrast levels and fonts through your device or browser settings, magnify or zoom the screen without content overlapping or breaking, navigate the web portal using a keyboard alone, and move through most of the platform using a screen reader such as VoiceOver on iOS, TalkBack on Android, or NVDA, JAWS and VoiceOver on the web.
We have also worked to keep the language in August as clear and plain as we can, because straightforward wording helps everyone, particularly people with cognitive or learning differences.
If you need information from August in a different format, such as a more accessible document or a different file type, please contact us using the details below and we will consider your request and respond.
How accessible our products are
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 to level AA, which is the standard recognised in the United Kingdom as the practical benchmark for accessible digital services. The August web portal has been developed to meet WCAG version 2.1 to level AA, which is also the standard HMRC requires for Making Tax Digital software, and we are working to confirm full conformance with the newer version 2.2 criteria and to bring our iOS and Android apps to the same standard.
The August web portal includes a range of features designed to support accessibility. There is a skip link so that keyboard and screen reader users can move straight to the main content without working through the navigation each time. All interactive elements have a visible keyboard focus indicator, so you can always see where you are on the page when navigating without a mouse. Dialogs and sheets manage focus correctly, use the appropriate dialog role, and are oing to improve accessibility
Accessibility is an ongoing commitment rather than a one-off task, because our products change as we add features and the guidelines themselves continue to develop. We are working to confirm full conformance of the web portal with WCAG 2.2 AA, to assess and improve the accessibility of our iOS and Android apps, and to test new features for accessibility as we build them. We review the issues raised through the feedback route above and use them to prioritise the changes that will help the most people.
