Website Accessibility Audits
A standalone accessibility audit is a full evaluation of how your website meets ADA, WCAG 2.1 AA, and any other applicable standards. We analyze your site’s technical and functional accessibility for these compliance requirements. Audit areas include:
- User interface design
- Mobile responsiveness
- Screen reader compatibility
- Color contrast
- Keyboard navigation
- Content structure
Following the audit, we create a detailed summary and a strategic plan to fix any compliance issues. This one-off service provides a clear and actionable roadmap to digital inclusivity.
Accessibility-First Web Design
Web accessibility is part of every step in our web design process. We start by mapping out navigation structures and layouts that work for all abilities. Before launch, each website goes through a quality assurance check that includes more than 70 points of inspection.
Our web design process includes:
- Design adhering to color contrast rules
- Semantic HTML coding to ensure clean technical architecture for assistive devices
- Content structured for readability and screen readers
- Alt text on all applicable images
Team Training & Accessibility Best Practices
Training your team in accessibility helps ensure every website update considers all users. It keeps inclusivity in mind from the start. Following best practices removes barriers and makes your website easier to use. It also improves overall performance.
Accessibility Statements
Accessibility statements and documentation help your website meet legal requirements. They show visitors that your site is designed to be accessible. They also show that you work to maintain those standards over time.
Our Accessibility Expertise in Action
We updated the Iowa School for the Deaf’s website to incorporate custom American Sign Language (ASL) video toggles and an intuitive navigation menu. We also ensured it met 508 Compliance and WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards.
