Accessibility is socially responsible and commercially smart
There are clear benefits to optimising accessibility for your website or app. Better user experience and reach can deliver better ROI from greater inclusion. Did you know that 15% of the world’s population have disabilities, including visual impairments and hearing loss? That’s a big (and growing) audience to lose. Overlooking potential user dissatisfaction among disabled communities could also damage your reputation.
The internationally recognised Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) give organisations a benchmark to measure their website accessibility for disabled or disadvantaged users. In some countries (including the USA and Canada) there are extra rules for digital accessibility: you risk a heavy fine if you don’t comply.

How Digivante accessibility testing works
It’s hard to achieve 100% accessibility in any digital resource. Your Accessibility Statement, which describes what is and isn’t covered, is essential for legal compliance. We give you a template to make sure you include everything that’s needed.

Shift left/right regression testing
Shifting accessibility testing left
Make accessibility an integral part of your software development processes. We can run a subset of accessibility tests earlier in the software development lifecycle. If it’s not possible to achieve full accessibility compliance, you can record exclusions and include them in your Accessibility Statement.
Shifting accessibility testing right
Accessibility issues often arise because content management systems don’t automatically follow accessibility rules. That means it’s down to your content people to build in compliance every time they add or update web or app content. Digivante can help you educate content teams about WCAG compliance. Running regular accessibility tests helps you keep content aligned with external and internal standards.
