Unsure if your website or app is accessible? Maybe you know there are issues & you need a solution. Perhaps you just want a review, or wish to learn about the European Accessibility Act.

Either way, I can help you figure out what best suits you.

I provide accessibility audits, remediation advice, training & ongoing partnership support in the following ways to ensure your digital content is usable for everyone.

1). Accessibility Audit

Website accessibility audits involve both Manual & Automated tests, run on different devices, in tandem with commonly used assistive technology.

Industry best practice states that Manual audit tests are essential because Automated audit tests currently only detect 30% of accessibility issues. In other words, simply relying on Automated test software means critical issues are frequently not detected.

Results are measured using required Success Criteria of WCAG 2.1 (required AA standard).

Overall, accessibility audits require 5 different stages:

Stage 1: Initial scoping exercise to get a sense of the complexity of the project before estimating the requirements & costs of any potential audit.
Stage 2: Accessibility audit to produce a detailed report of issues & why they do not meet required WCAG 2.1 (required AA standards). Where possible, this will include best practice code remediation suggestions.
Stage 3: Client / client Developer to implement remediation of issues.
Stage 4: Secondary accessibility audit to verify issues have been resolved.
Stage 5: Accessibility Statement. This is a requirement that must be published on your website to inform everyone of the current accessibility status of your digital content. Statements only relate to content on the date they are issued.

Various audit packages are available, depending on the size & complexity of your website.

2). Accessibility Consultancy

Hire me as a contractor to assist with making your digital content more accessible. I can both remediate (fix) PDF Documents and also work alongside your team in house to assist with building accessible digital products.

3). European Accessibility Act (EAA) & Training

Understand & work towards EAA compliance in partnership with me. Equip your business with the knowledge to add accessibility into all your future projects. Tailor made guidance & training can be delivered to suit your specific needs regardless of where you are at along the accessibility journey. Web accessibility is a marathon, not a sprint, but its cumulative effect is valuable across the board.
