Accessibility Testing

Your website’s accessibility is extremely important to make sure that everyone can access and use your site. We provide accessibility testing services to find problems that are preventing people from doing this.

Why accessibility testing is important

Accessibility testing (or A11y testing) is about ensuring your website or application can be accessed and used by everyone, including the 24% of UK people (16.1 million) that have reported having a disability.
‍

Organisations also have a legal obligation to make sure that their website and web or mobile apps are accessible and meet legal guidelines such as Equality Act in the UK, European Accessibility Act (EEA), Section 508 and accessibility standards such as Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA.
‍

Recent web accessibility testing projects include:

Accessibility testing for a student accommodation website.

Testing accessibility for several charity websites.

Carrying out accessibility checks for an interactive video SaaS.

Accessibility testing for Shopify ecommerce sites.

Web accessibility software tools

We use the latest web and mobile app accessibility tools to scan, locate and report on accessibility problems. This is often the first step in testing a website's accessibility to pick up the most urgent accessibility problems.

Screen readers

Screen reading software, such as NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and TalkBack, needs to be able to access and convert text, images and UI elements into speech for blind or visually impaired users. Many websites have problems that affect the ability of screen reader users to navigate, use and understand web content.

Keyboard operability

Many people are unable to use a mouse to navigate and interact with a website or web application. Keyboard operability is a critical accessibility requirement that all functionality is usable from a keyboard.

Zoom + increased text size

It should be possible to enlarge content by up to 200% without loss of functionality or causing page layouts to break. We test to make sure it is possible to zoom in, zoom out, adjust font sizes and use magnification without causing any website problems.
