Testing & Improving Web Accessibility

Formerly: 'Testing & Validating Web Accessibilty'

The Challenge:

You have a reasonably good understanding of the basics of web accessibility, and its importance to your website. But getting to grips with your requirements, and understanding the steps to compliance can prove very difficult - even more so if you outsource web development tasks.

How do you go about assessing your current level of conformance? How do you fix accessibility issues in a cost effective way? And how can you check that your accessibility strategy has been successful?

The Solution:

Testing and Validating Web Accessibility gives you a clear set of processes and tools to assess your website, to plan accessibility repairs and to test for conformance.

Objectives:

use automated testing tools
use audio and text-only browsers
interpret accessibility guidelines
use accessibility tools and resources
perform an accessibility audit
assess your organisation's accessibility requirements
test and validate your website for conformance
identify issues for repair
prioritize issues and plan for implementation

An understanding of accessibility issues; a good understanding of your organisation's website aims and objectives; a basic understanding of HTML.
