How do you make sure a site is fully accessible?
First things first, we start with an accessibility audit. An accessibility audit will review your website against W3 WCAG2 Standards, and create a list of improvements that include perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust updates. These include but are not limited to:
- Providing text alternatives for non-text content like images and videos,
- Providing captions and transcripts for multimedia content,
- Creating content that can be presented through assistive technology without losing meaning or clarity,
- Making content easier to see and hear,
- Ensuring a keyboard can be used for all website functionality,
- Removing content that might be cause seizures or physical reactions,
- Helping users navigate and find content, and
- Making sure all text is visible and readable.
We’ll go over the audit with your team and recommend changes based on necessity, ease-of-implementation, and likelihood to cause a complaint. With approval, we’ll make all the updates required to bring your site into compliance and provide an accessibility statement for your audience.
