At Granicus, we are committed to meeting and exceeding the needs of the organizations and communities with which we work, and it is important for us that our products and websites are accessible to everyone. To this end, we use accessible web design practices that are grounded upon WeCo’s Standards of Accessibility, which include and expand upon elements of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 (which may include Levels A and AA) and the accessibility criteria outlined in the United States Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 508. For agencies in the UK, our solutions enable you to adhere to the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
As a result of this work, GovDelivery has earned the WeCo Seal of Approval for Accessibility.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and the responsibility of everyone at Granicus, our partner organizations, and our clients. As part of this effort, Granicus has made the following commitments for govDelivery:
- Subscriber-facing webpages (e.g subscriber signup flows) conform to WCAG standards up to WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines and section 508.
- govDelivery provides administrators with the tools to create accessible content for their subscribers that conforms to standards set by WCAG 2.1 guidelines and section 508.
- The govDelivery administrator website strives to conform to standards set by WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines and section 508.
While our tools are built with accessibility in mind, it is the responsibility of each government agency to ensure that their content and resources are accessible. For more information about tools and best practices for accessible communications using govDelivery, see our article on Creating Accessible Bulletins.
If you have run into an accessibility issue with govDelivery, please let us know by contacting our Customer Services team.
