Audits and Certification​

Accessibility audits and certification involve conducting a thorough assessment of your website or web application to determine its compliance with accessibility standards, particularly the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)

Manual Audit

During an accessibility audit, a team of experts examines various aspects of your website, including its layout, design, navigation, content, and functionality. This enables them to identify any barriers that may hinder users with disabilities from accessing and interacting with the site. The audit typically involves manual inspection as well as the use of automated testing tools.

VPAT Reports

In order to demonstrate compliance with accessibility standards, a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) report can be created. A VPAT report provides detailed information about your digital product’s conformance to specific sections of accessibility standards, such as WCAG. It outlines the product features, their level of compliance, and any known accessibility limitations.

Report Style

Based on the findings of the audit, a comprehensive audit report, including corrections, is generated. This report provides a detailed analysis of your website’s current accessibility status, highlighting specific issues that need to be addressed. It includes recommendations for design or coding changes, as well as an assessment of the required effort and resources for achieving compliance.

Compliance Status

Overall, accessibility audits and certification provide a reliable way to ensure that your website or web application is accessible to individuals with disabilities, offering them equal access to information and services.
