Hello

We've checked the EasySocial extensions and found a lot of accessibility issues.
Please understand that in Israel we have an a accessibility law that enforce that all internet site's especially portals and government sites to support accessibility Standard AA .Apart from the importance of the Issue for all that have problems to use the internet , Our site's owner can be sued for this issue without proof of damage.

We think that accessibility authorization approval is an important and necessary advantage for your extensions.
From October 2016 all the Israel site owner's will not able to use any extensions that don't have an accessibility approval and we think that this trend will continue in the future in other country as well.

We will appreciate your cooperation to do these adjustments.

Please Advice
Best regards

Hi Ezrul,

The issue is not only for my country.
the WCAG and Section 508 support is an International Standard ! !

WAI is Web Accessibility Initiative - an initiative established by the W3C, defining the standards for creating web pages, which have to be available for many users - in the project participate companies such as IBM, Microsoft, Google, Apple (the author of WCAG). Web Content Accessibility Guidelines is a collection of documents relating to the availability of Internet services, Since 2012 has the status of international standard ISO.
Please note that many company and developer are their extensions to WCAG for instance DJ-Extensions.

We know that this is a lot of work and take time but it must add to your work plan.
We went to implement your extensions on our sites and think that it give you advantage on Similar developments We offer our help.

Thanks and Regards
Rose ERTINET
