    The Importance of Web Accessibility and How Hurix is Making a Difference

    By Gokulnath B | Accessibility, Digital Engineering & Technology | Comments are Closed | 3 May, 2023 | 2

    In today’s digital age, web accessibility has become a critical aspect of website design and development. With the growing number of people with disabilities using the internet, ensuring accessibility on websites is essential. This has led to an increase in demand for web accessibility testing and remediation services to ensure websites conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA standards.

    How Hurix Ensures Web Accessibility for All Users

    At Hurix, we provide web accessibility testing services to ensure that websites and web applications conform to WCAG guidelines and comply with accessibility standards. Our team of WCAG experts conducts thorough manual testing to identify and address any accessibility issues. Our goal is to ensure that all users, regardless of their abilities, can access and interact with digital content with ease and without barriers.

    Web accessibility testing is the process of evaluating how well a website or web application meets the needs of users with disabilities. Our team of accessibility testers, including testers with disabilities using various assistive technologies, evaluate websites against the WCAG principles. Our web accessibility testing solutions extend to static, dynamic, and transactional websites. We also offer Section 508 testing solutions to ensure that your websites, products, and services adhere to Section 508 accessibility compliance standards.

    We offer project-based accessibility testing, where our team evaluates your website as per user experience and WCAG 2.1 or WCAG 2.0 website compliance standards. Our accessibility audit includes a thorough analysis of the challenges faced by people with disabilities, and we provide a detailed report of accessibility vulnerabilities and code recommendations to ensure that your website is accessibility compliant.

    In addition to project-based testing, we also provide on-going testing support to ensure that your website remains accessible over time. Our web accessibility testing team provides you with expert advice on how to integrate accessibility in your website, and we work closely with your team for accessibility audits.

    At Hurix, we follow a comprehensive workflow for web accessibility testing and remediation. Our process is designed to ensure that websites are accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. Our expert team of web accessibility testers includes individuals with disabilities who use various assistive technologies to test and audit websites to ensure compliance with WCAG 2.1 or 2.0 standards.

    Six Steps to Follow in Our Workflow for Web Accessibility Testing and Remediation:

    1. Initial Consultation 

    The first step in our workflow is to have an initial consultation with our clients to understand their accessibility needs and requirements. We work with our clients to identify the scope of the project, timeline, and budget.

    2. Evaluation and Audit

    Our team of accessibility testers evaluates the website against WCAG 2.1 or 2.0 guidelines, identifying any accessibility issues. We use various testing tools and techniques, including screen readers, keyboard navigation, and color contrast checkers, to test the website. We also conduct manual testing with actual users with disabilities using various assistive technologies to evaluate the user experience.

    3. Accessibility Report

    After the evaluation and audit, we provide our clients with a comprehensive accessibility report. The report details the accessibility issues identified, along with recommendations for remediation.

    4. Remediation

    Our team of web developers and accessibility experts then work together to remediate the accessibility issues identified in the evaluation and audit. We prioritize the issues identified based on their severity, impact, and complexity. We also work closely with our clients to ensure that the website’s design and functionality are not compromised during the remediation process.

    5. Testing

    After the remediation process, we conduct a retest of the website to ensure that all accessibility issues have been addressed. We use the same testing tools and techniques as in the initial evaluation and audit to ensure compliance with WCAG 2.1 or 2.0 standards.

    6. Accessibility Certification

    Upon successful remediation and testing, we provide our clients with an accessibility certification. The certification indicates that the website is compliant with WCAG 2.1 AA standards and is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities.

    In conclusion, web accessibility testing, and remediation is an essential aspect of website design and development. At Hurix, we follow a comprehensive workflow for web accessibility testing and remediation to ensure that websites conform to WCAG 2.1 or 2.0 standards and are accessible to all users. Our team of accessibility testers, web developers, and accessibility experts work together to provide cost-effective web accessibility testing services and consultancy to help businesses make their websites accessible to all.
