WEbsite ACCeSSIBILITY AUDIT

What is a Website Accessibility Audit?

Make sure your organization’s website is accessible to everyone with Edge Creative’s Web Accessibility Audit. Our audit service is designed to help your site achieve Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA compliance, meeting both Canadian and American legislated accessibility requirements. Utilizing accessibility evaluation tools and manual testing with assistive technology, we conduct a comprehensive assessment to ensure your website’s accessibility.

Key features of our web accessibility audit:

• WCAG 2.1 Level AA Compliance:

  We assess your website’s compliance with International Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards, ensuring accessibility and a positive user experience for all visitors to your website.

• Comprehensive Testing for Accessibility:

  We use several website accessibility evaluation tools to scan your website for accessibility. We identify where your site is compliant and we identify errors preventing accessibility. We also identify warnings which are not technically accessibility barriers, but are areas that could be improved for a better user experience of your website.

  The other important part of our audit is manual testing using assistive technology. By manually auditing a site, we check for any areas or functions that are not errors, but are annoying or confusing and get in the way of a positive user experience of your website.

  We test in both MacOS and Windows environments using different screen reader browser combinations (for example JAWS with Chrome, NVDA with Firefox, Narrator with Edge and Voice Over with Safari)

  We also manually test your site on mobile devices.

  This guarantees a thorough assessment of accessibility features, identifying any barriers faced by users relying on these technologies.

• Legislative Compliance:

  Our audit ensures compliance with Canadian accessibility legislation such as the British Columbia Accessibility Act, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), the Accessibility for Manitobans Act (AMA), and the Nova Scotia Accessibility Act. We also cover American legislation, including the Americans With Disabilities Act and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.

• Detailed Audit Report and Remediation Recommendations:

  After the audit, you’ll receive a comprehensive report outlining findings, including areas of compliance and non-compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines. Our report includes actionable and specific recommendations for remediation to address accessibility issues and enhance user experience for all visitors to your website.
