Ensuring that your website is accessible by everyone means that you are inclusive and your website provides a great experience for everyone.
Accessibility isn't just about making your website accessible to people with disabilities, it is about making your website accessible to everyone. Accessibility ensure you put good web design principles that will increase your audience and keep them on your website longer. Accessible web design can be navigated, read and used by everyone, irrespective of their location, experience or device used.
As part of our accessibility audit, we use automated tools combined with manual testing. Automated tools cannot give the whole accessibility answer, but they are a good start. A human is required to determine the actual issues and how they can be resolved. A detailed accessibility audit report provides the answers on how to make your inaccessible website compliant.
