Assessments
Our assessment service helps you understand the accessibility of your websites, apps, applications, design systems and component libraries. No matter what we’re assessing we apply the same rigorous approach, so you get a consistent baseline of information across all your products and services.
When is the right time
Assessments can happen at any time. They are valuable for identifying issues to fix, and where in your process to fix them so they don't happen again.
What we'll do
We’ll begin by collaborating with you to identify a representative sample of pages/screens/components from your product or service - because it isn’t feasible, logistically or economically, to test an entire product or service – and it just isn’t necessary either.
We'll use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 as the technical benchmark for assessing your products and services, and we'll complement this with verification that they work with common assistive technologies, so you get a balanced understanding of how accessible and usable your products and services really are.
Whether your products and services need to comply with the European Accessibility Act (EEA), EU Public Sector Accessibility Directive, Section 508 of the US Rehabilitation ACT, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), the Canadian Accessibility Act (CAA), the UK Equality Act, or any other laws and policies concerning digital accessibility, our assessment service will help.
What you'll get
A clear answer about whether your product or service meets accessibility standards, and everything your teams need to know if it does not.
We offer four packages for reporting the results of an assessment, so you can choose the one that gives you the information in the most appropriate and useful way:
- Foundations: for teams that are new to accessibility and want documentation and test procedures to help them understand and learn, as well as detailed issue tickets with specific implementation guidance for fixing issues
- Core: for teams that are familiar with accessibility and want detailed issue tickets with specific implementation guidance for fixing issues
- Accelerate: for teams that are confident with accessibility and comfortable with lightning issue descriptions and general solutions
- Compliance: for teams that just want an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR)
