Accessibility evaluation and testing

In our experience, Bobby testing (accessibility testing software) or designing around accessibility guidelines you find on the Web is NOT enough. Good accessibility efforts include adhering to browser coding best practices AND testing with disabled users.

Accessibility Audit

• Checks the Accessibility of your current website or software.
• Review of adherence to ADA, Section 508 compliance and W3C guidelines and recommendations (prioritized based on level of severity).
• Review of Experience Dynamics in-house accessibility guidelines based on global academic accessibility research.
• Code audit per Accessibility guidelines and known best practices in applying Section 508/ W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0.
• Review of Accessibility with JAWS (Screen reader).
• Conduct accessibility testing with disabled users. See below.
• Provide low vision, colorblind and research-based accessibility improvement design tips.

Accessibility Testing

• We test your website (similar to a usability test) with disabled users (blind, low vision, cognitive, physical).
• Home or work visits (to capture native browser, access technology and computer set up).
• Review of the actual accessibility of your website or software.
• Validation of accessibility optimization efforts. Test your work!
• Design and code recommendations.
• Accessibility guidelines for your design assets and style guide available on request.

Accessibility Training
