Website Accessibility Audits

Etaxia can carry out a Website Accessibility Audit on your existing website, enabling you to plan your path to compliance with the W3C and NDA accessibility guidelines. The purpose of the audit report is to identify aspects of a website which do not meet the requirements of either of these standards.

In using the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) guidelines, both automatic tests and manual checks are performed to assess website accessibility. The three W3C/WAI checkpoint levels of accessibility are A, AA & AAA.

For each highlighted problem, clear recommendations are provided to remedy it and improve the site's accessibility. It also tells you which problems are critical, which are important, and which are nice-to-haves. Sample HTML and CSS code are provided where necessary, to help you repair any problem. Aside from the sample codes, the report assumes no prior technical knowledge.

To complete an Website Accessibility Audit Report Etaxia will:

  1. Validate the style sheet (CSS file) if available, to check compliance
  2. Validate the HTML/XHTML code, for a representative sample of pages, to check compliance.
  3. Manually check for compliance with the WAI guidelines
  4. Collate all results and produce a detailed report in .pdf format
