Frequently asked questions
What does WCAG 2.0 Level AA mean?
WCAG 2.0 Level AA is the web accessibility standard referenced by Ontario guidance for public websites and web content. For forms, it affects labels, keyboard access, focus visibility, error handling, structure, contrast, and predictable interaction.
When do municipal websites need to be AODA compliant?
Ontario guidance says designated public sector organizations must make public websites and web content accessible under AODA requirements. Municipal teams should confirm specific obligations with their accessibility, procurement, and legal advisors.
Can I migrate my existing forms to PublicBase™?
Yes. Existing PDFs can be used as the starting point for fields, instructions, attachments, payments, approvals, and staff workflows.
How does PublicBase™ handle resident data privacy?
PublicBase™ is designed for Canadian municipal needs, including privacy-aware workflows, access control expectations, and Canadian infrastructure considerations.
Do I need technical expertise to use PublicBase™?
No. PublicBase™ is designed so municipal staff can build and manage forms without writing code.
