What are the WCAG standards?
W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) created the WCAG Standards that are composed of 4 pillars
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), provide a solid framework for an accessible web. The guidelines are broken down into four core pillars that help to define each web need. These standards are internationally recognized by government and businesses.
For the US, recognition is outlined by the ADA and Section 508 laws which require all public sector businesses to comply.
Globally, recognition is outlined by ISO and EN standards.*

As a company, Foleon evaluates the editor based on these four pillars and uses the standards defined within each to ensure our platform can provide our customers with the tools necessary to make their content accessible.
Creating accessible content is a collaborative effort between Foleon and our users. It's our job to make sure that it's possible to create accessible content within our editor, and to provide guidance so users know if they are on the path towards accessibility compliance.

Disclaimer: At Foleon, we're deeply committed to providing an inclusive platform. We are actively aligning the Foleon platform with WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards to better support accessible content creation.
To give you the most transparent view, we commissioned an independent audit by Deque Systems. This evaluation was performed in March 2025, with fixed issues validated in June 2025 , against the WCAG 2.2 Level AA standard. You can access the full Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT), also known as the Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR), which conforms to VPAT Version 2.5, by downloading the document here: Foleon Accessibility Conformance Report.
This Foleon Doc guide is an evolving asset meant to empower you to create accessible content within our Content Studio editor. Please remember that while Foleon provides tools to support accessible creation, the accessibility of the content created by users (Foleon Docs) is the sole responsibility of the Customer.
