Accessibility Testing

Ensure your website is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities, and comply with WCAG guidelines and ADA requirements.

Why Website Accessibility Matters

Website accessibility ensures that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with your website. Beyond being the right thing to do, accessibility is also a legal requirement in many jurisdictions and can significantly expand your potential audience. Accessible websites also tend to rank better in search engines and provide a better user experience for all visitors.

Our accessibility testing tool examines your website for compliance with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards and identifies issues that prevent users with disabilities from accessing your content. We provide specific recommendations to fix accessibility barriers and improve your site's usability for everyone.

What We Test

Our accessibility analysis checks for compliance across multiple WCAG criteria:

• Alternative Text: Ensures all images have descriptive alt text for screen readers
• Color Contrast: Checks text and background color contrast ratios meet WCAG standards
• Keyboard Navigation: Verifies all functionality is accessible via keyboard
• Form Labels: Ensures all form inputs have proper labels and instructions
• Heading Structure: Validates proper heading hierarchy for screen reader navigation
• Link Text: Checks that links have descriptive, meaningful text
• ARIA Labels: Validates proper use of ARIA attributes for assistive technologies
• Focus Indicators: Ensures visible focus indicators for keyboard navigation
• Language Declaration: Verifies proper language attributes for screen readers
• Video/Audio: Checks for captions, transcripts, and audio descriptions
• Text Resizing: Ensures content remains usable when text is enlarged
• Error Identification: Validates clear error messages and identification

WCAG Compliance Levels

We test for compliance with WCAG 2.1 standards across three levels:

• Level A: Minimum level of accessibility, addressing the most critical barriers
• Level AA: Recommended standard that addresses most accessibility barriers
• Level AAA: Highest level of accessibility, addressing all known barriers

Legal Compliance

Website accessibility is required by law in many jurisdictions:

• ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act): Requires businesses to provide accessible digital experiences
• Section 508: Federal requirement for accessible technology
• EU Web Accessibility Directive: Requires accessibility for public sector websites
• Various State Laws: Many states have additional accessibility requirements

Non-compliance can result in legal action, fines, and damage to your brand reputation. Our testing helps you identify and fix issues before they become problems.
