Compliance is very important to ensure that the content on websites is accessible and meets the requirements of GDPR.

With regards to compliance, there are three key areas that we are going to work on:

  • GDPR - data related to images, information collected on forms etc.
  • Accessibility
  • Cookie banner

For the purpose of this feature, we are going to provide tools for Haiku editors that help to ensure that the content on their website is as accessible as possible. With regards to the colour palette that is used on a Haiku website, we take care to check that the colours you would like to use to generate your theme are accessible when we first implement them. If the colours are not accessible for any reason, we either will have or will let you know about this. This means that we will ensure various areas are still accessible for all users, e.g. that the text colour is suitable on the highlight colour that you may use to put behind some text on your website. 

Alongside the colours, there are other areas of a website where we can help to make sure that you are considering your content and ensuring that it is always as accessible as possible for users.
