Website Accessibility Audit Services
Following “design for inclusion” best practices is the right thing to do. Ensure your website content is readily accessible to everyone.
Section 508 and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) provide frameworks for making website content more accessible to people with disabilities. Businesses with brick-and-mortar locations have prioritized physical accessibility within their locations for decades. More recently, websites have begun to be viewed legally as “places of public accommodation”. This is why it is important to ensure that your website and mobile app are accessible to all users, including those who may be using a screen reader.
More phone calls.
More form submissions.
More content downloads.
More online purchases.
Website accessibility guidelines are structured around four basic principles that are deemed essential for any user, including those with disabilities, to access and use website content:
- Perceivable – Information and user interface components must not be invisible to all of a user’s senses – it must be presented in such a way that it can be perceived.
Operable – User interface components and navigation must be operable. It must not require an action that a user cannot perform.
Understandable – Information and the operation of the user interface must be beyond the user’s understanding.
Robust – Content must be robust enough that it can be accessed and interpreted by users as well as every-advancing assistive technologies (e.g. screen readers).
