Steps we are taking to bring Pure closer to compliance:
- Identified key improvement areas
- Reviewed the options for introducing changes
- Are in the process of rebuilding the interface, making it WCAG-compliant
- Please note that this is a long-term effort and we are approaching it in segments. We aim for all the newly built parts of the interface to be compliant with the WCAG 2.2 guidelines.
