Accessibility Services

Accessibility refers to the ability for any person, in any circumstance, using any device, to access content on the web. This refers in particular to people with disabilities and is of increasing concern to organisations for moral, financial and legal reasons (in the UK, this largely falls under the 2010 Equality Act).

The W3C, the Web’s standards organisation, has defined accessibility guidelines (WCAG 2.0) LINK which are a key aspect of accessibility. An audit of compliance with these is a good starting point for ensuring accessibility of a site.
However, ensuring a truly great customer experience for people with disabilities requires the combination of technical compliance with user testing. Foviance offers a full range of accessibility services – compliance audit, expert review and user testing – to help clients achieve this.

The deliverable is an accessibility report describing the findings with severity ratings and actionable recommendations. These can also be presented in a workshop format.

Foviance also provides Accessibility training, to promote awareness of accessibility issues within a design team or across a variety of stakeholders.
