Ensuring that custom software is accessible and compliant with accessibility standards is of utmost importance to us. We believe in creating software solutions that cater to a diverse user base, including individuals with disabilities.
Here is our approach to ensuring that custom software is accessible:
1. Accessibility assessments:
We begin by conducting thorough accessibility assessments of the software. This involves reviewing the software’s user interface, interactions, and content to identify any accessibility barriers. We use automated tools, manual audits, and assistive technology testing to gain insights into the software’s accessibility.
2. Design with accessibility in mind:
Our design team incorporates accessible design principles from the initial stages of development. This includes ensuring sufficient color contrast, using clear and consistent navigation, and providing text alternatives for non-text content like images.
3. Adherence to standards:
We follow industry standards and guidelines such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. By adhering to these guidelines, we ensure that the custom software meets recognized accessibility standards and best practices.
4. Integration of accessibility features:
Our development team implements essential accessibility features into the software. This includes enabling keyboard navigation, providing alternative text for images, supporting screen reader compatibility, and using semantic markup to enhance the software’s accessibility.
5. Usability testing:
We conduct extensive usability testing with individuals who have disabilities. This helps us identify any remaining accessibility issues and make necessary improvements to enhance the overall user experience.
6. Continuous monitoring and maintenance:
Once the custom software is deployed, we monitor its accessibility regularly. This involves conducting periodic accessibility audits, addressing any reported issues, and ensuring ongoing compliance with accessibility standards.
By following this comprehensive approach, we can guarantee that the custom software we develop is accessible and compliant with accessibility standards. We prioritize inclusivity and strive to provide a seamless user experience for all users.
