Accessibility is a key aspect of modern web development. An accessibility audit ensures that your website is accessible to all user groups.
Accessibility testing refers to checking whether a website or application is accessible to all users, including people with disabilities. The aim is to ensure that no one is excluded due to limitations in visual, auditory or motor perception. An accessibility audit helps to identify problems and propose solutions to improve accessibility.
Website accessibility is a critical factor in usability testing and overall user experience. Accessible websites ensure that every user, regardless of ability, can consume information and use interactive features. In addition, accessible pages can increase the reach of a website, avoid legal risks and ensure compliance with standards such as the WCAG.
Die bekanntesten Standards für Barrierefreiheit sind die Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Diese Richtlinien sind in verschiedenen Konformitätsstufen unterteilt: A, AA und AAA. Sie umfassen Prinzipien wie Wahrnehmbarkeit, Bedienbarkeit, Verständlichkeit und Robustheit. A successful WCAG Test ensures that your website meets these standards. Upon successful completion of our audit, you will receive anAccessibility Certificate confirming your website's compliance with accessibility improvements.
An accessibility audit consists of several steps:
Definition of the objectives and scope of the audit.
Use of tools such as accessibility checkers to identify problems.
Comparison of the results with the WCAG criteria.
Documentation of findings and suggestions for improvement.
Numerous tools are available for accessibility testing. These include, for example: WAVE Accessibility Tool, Axe, Lighthouse, or our Website Accessibility Widget, which offers a variety of options to dynamically improve website accessibility based on individual needs. With features such as text spacing, dyslexia-friendly fonts, cursor size and much more, you can personalize your web experience and ensure that your website is accessible to all.
A self-test for accessibility involves simple steps:
• Test the website with keyboard and screen readers.
• Use manual accessibility testing tools to identify visual and functional barriers.
• Check the color contrasts and scalability of the content.
Such a test can help you perform a website accessibility assessment and identify opportunities for improvement.
Automated accessibility tests use software to systematically analyze websites. These tests are particularly effective for quickly checking large websites and finding potential problems. However, they should always be supplemented by manual tests to ensure a comprehensive accessibility assessment. A well-executed accessibility test is essential to creating an accessible and inclusive website. With the help of WCAG testing, automated tools and accessibility certifications, you can ensure that your site is open to all users. Take advantage of a professional accessibility audit to optimize your website accessibility assessment and achieve long-term success.
