A significant portion of the population has disabilities that affect how they translate content and navigate webpages. Without making your website accessible you’re affectively blocking out approximately 20% of the population trying to use your website. Many websites have been built with barriers in place making it difficult or impossible for users with disabilities to navigate and use. When properly designed and coded properly websites should be useable for everyone.

Accessibility is defined by W3C WAI that websites, tools, and technologies are designed and developed so that users with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the website. W3C WAI has published an exhaustive set of guidelines that include auditory, cognitive, neurological, physical, speech, and visual disabilities.

We evaluate all website designs to determine the accessibility of visual aspects of the website interface and recommend adjustments where appropriate. This includes navigation, layout, color contrast and information availability.

Building for accessibility requires coding that takes the end users into account. Web pages must be organized and coded so that users using screen readers can make sense of the content, as well as making alternative methods of navigating to using a mouse or trackpad.

We perform a comprehensive audit on your website using a variety of tools to make sure it is compliant with WCAG 2.1 guidelines. We also check for validation and parse errors on your website and put together a report with all issues prioritizing from critical to general with a plan of action to resolve them.

We will systematically follow best practices to make your website accessible including modifying code and colors and ensuring that the page is multi-navigable, visually available to users with visual impairment, easy to understand for users who are using a screen reader, and doesn’t have aspects that can cause harm or difficulty to users with neurological disorders. Coding errors can also cause issues to users attempting to make sense of content using screen readers or navigating using keyboards, this is why we fix them as well.
