Accessibility testing

Deliverables from accessibility testing

Webcredible is one of the UK's leading accessibility agencies and we've conducted 100s of accessibility projects over the years. Our consultants are expertly trained ensuring 100% accurate results and recommendations. Deliverables from accessibility testing include:

• Robust, detailed and prioritised recommendations on how to optimise your website's accessibility, often with a range of options and mock-ups to demonstrate the solution
• Live viewing of user testing to provide you with first-hand insights into the specific needs of disabled users
• An accessibility testing report with clear recommendations for how to remedy your site and improve its accessibility. Recommendations are defined as high, medium and low priority, as appropriate
• Increased accessibility knowledge because knowledge sharing is at the core of everything we do. Through a close, collaborative approach we make sure that you learn as much as you can from our expertise throughout the accessibility testing process

Our methodology

1. Before the accessibility testing is carried out we usually conduct an expert accessibility evaluation of your website. We'll combine the findings from the accessibility evaluation with those of the accessibility testing into the one report.
2. We design and prepare tasks for participants so they'll be completing real user journeys on your site. As standard, we run a pilot testing session before launching into the full accessibility testing.
3. We then carry out the accessibility testing with users with a range of disabilities - visually impaired (screen reader users), partially sighted (screen magnifier users), dyslexic, learning difficulties, motor impaired, elderly.
4. During the accessibility testing participants are instructed to think aloud at all times. Our accessibility testers are expertly trained to ask questions and elicit thoughts in a non-biased and neutral manner.
5. Finally, we analyse and prioritise the findings so you know what the most important aspects are for you to change.
6. We can continue to provide an accessibility health check of your website every six months as part of an on-going accessibility evaluation programme.

Accessibility is a multi-disciplinary topic and is essentially a mixture of both user and technical requirements. Webcredible is one of the very few agencies in the UK that specialises in both - in addition to our accessibility consulting services we provide both usability and design & development services.

The big picture

Accessibility is an important aspect of your customer experience strategy as it ensures that your digital platforms are suitable for all customers. Accessibility is an iterative process so it's crucial that your site continues to maintain high standards of accessibility over time as it changes and grows.
