Financial impact: the lack of accessibility can lead to missed opportunities, directly affecting online sales and conversion rates.
 

ACCESSIBILITY IMPLEMENTATION ROADMAP

ASSESSMENT AND AUDIT

The first step to ensuring website accessibility is a thorough assessment of the current state. An audit is conducted using automated tools and manual testing to identify areas that do not meet WCAG/ADA accessibility standards.

PRIORITIZATION OF FIXES

Identified issues are assessed and prioritized based on their impact on user experience and the complexity of the fixes. High-priority problems that hinder important user tasks, such as logging in or making purchases, are addressed immediately.

IMPLEMENTING CHANGES

Based on the list of priority improvements, web developers and designers begin to refine site elements. This includes adding semantic HTML, improving color contrast, providing text alternatives for non-text content, and ensuring site navigation is possible solely through keyboard use.

TRAINING AND AWARENESS

Accessibility implementation includes training all team members involved in web content creation. This ensures that everyone understands the importance of accessibility and the basic principles needed to maintain standards in the future.

CONTINUOUS TESTING AND MAINTENANCE

Accessibility is an ongoing commitment. Once current shortcomings are addressed, regular testing and monitoring of the site are necessary to ensure its accessibility over time.

FEEDBACK MECHANISMS

Providing mechanisms for users to report accessibility issues helps strengthen the site's reputation as inclusive and user-oriented.

ACCESSIBILITY STANDARTS

In the field of web accessibility, several key standards aim to make internet resources usable for all users, including those with disabilities. These standards play a critical role in creating an inclusive digital space accessible to all users without exception. They not only help comply with legislative requirements in different countries but also significantly enhance the user experience on websites, making the internet more open and user-friendly for people with various needs.

WCAG

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are a set of recommendations for making web content more accessible, primarily to people with disabilities. Developed through the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which is an international community that develops open standards to ensure the long-term growth of the Web, WCAG is considered the gold standard in accessibility guidelines. These guidelines are designed to make web content more accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities, including blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity, and combinations of these, ensuring that the web works better for all.

Level A represents the most fundamental web accessibility features that all websites should implement. It sets the minimum standard required to ensure that web content is accessible. Compliance at this level involves providing basic access to web content, which includes alternative text for images, ensuring proper color contrast, and accessible navigation. This level is essential for making a website usable but does not cover all accessibility barriers that might affect more advanced interactions.

Level AA includes a higher standard of web accessibility features that are generally aimed at organizations and businesses. This level addresses a wider range of accessibility issues, providing a better user experience for people with disabilities. It covers items such as more stringent color contrast ratios, clearer navigation mechanisms, and error identification and suggestions in forms. Meeting Level AA compliance is seen as good practice for commercial sites and public institutions, as it addresses the majority of the common barriers for disabled users without imposing a high compliance burden.

Level AAA is the highest and most comprehensive level of web accessibility. This level attempts to make content accessible to the greatest extent possible by providing solutions for the broadest range of disabilities. This includes more detailed accessibility features such as sign language interpretation for videos, more detailed control over audiovisual content, and extensive more navigation aids. However, meeting Level AAA criteria is not always practical for all content and can be more complex to implement. It is generally recommended for organizations that aim to offer the highest degree of accessibility without compromising content integrity.

ADA

The Americans with Disabilities Act is a civil rights law that was enacted in 1990 in the United States. It prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public. The purpose of the ADA is to ensure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else.

In the context of the web, ADA compliance refers to the accessibility of websites and mobile apps to individuals with disabilities. While the ADA does not explicitly mention web accessibility, U.S. courts and the Department of Justice have interpreted its mandate as extending to digital and web-based services as a necessary means of ensuring equal access for all.

COMPONENTS OF OUR EFFECTIVENESS

Standard compliance reduces legal risks, while real usability enhances user loyalty. Technical compliance does not guarantee that the product will be truly convenient to use. In our accessibility testing, we focus on both aspects to ensure business tranquility and user satisfaction.

BASE

We are well-versed in W3C accessibility requirements, continually monitor WCAG standard updates, and understand legislative demands.

FLOW

WCAG requirements often have broad formulations, challenging to interpret and implement. We use original checklists that cover specific cases in our work.

RESULT

Our review results in a strategy to overcome identified deficiencies. With extensive experience in software development and testing, we generate specific steps to correct each problematic area: content, design, code.
