Accessibility

We're committed to making our clients' websites,
portals and other solutions to people with special
needs, including those with visual, hearing,
cognitive and motor impairments.

Designing accessible apps and websites

As part of our commitment to accessibility, we ensure that all our projects are compatible. Different components of Web development and interaction work together for the web to be accessible to people with disabilities.

Perceivable

Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.

Operable

User interface components and navigation must be operable.

Understandable

Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable.

Robust

Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.

Create perceivable content

The app or site most likely contains valuable content, such as product details, instructions, updates, and so forth. But this content is only useful to people if they know it exists.

Colors

Color contrast can have a significant effect on how perceivable your content is. We used the Material Design Color Tool as a guide.

Highlight

Use more than just color to show information. For instance, the text that links to another webpage is highlighted in blue, but it’s also underlined.

Headings

We use clear headings and labels - they make it easier for users to scan and find the section they are interested in.

Colour blindness

We use several tests for color blindness (Deuteranopia, Protanopia & Tritanopia).

Offer several ways to navigate

Different people will interact with your app or site in different ways. For example, people with physical disabilities may navigate sites using only keyboard commands, like the tab key or space bar.

Keyboards

Keyboard navigation is supported, and links are made descriptive - links are visually identifiable and have a clear focus and active states.

Skip

We also prefer providing users with a way to skip top-level navigation to access the main content.

App and website compatibility

To ensure your app or site are as accessible as possible, we make sure your site works with multiple browsers and that both your app and site support a variety of assistive technologies, like screen readers.

Alt text

We add “alt text” to all of your images. The descriptive copy, written into the back end of an app or site, enables screen reader technology to help users who are visually impaired better understand images.

Labels

We also label anything interactive, such as text input fields and icons. If your site has a navigation icon, you might give it a label for screen readers to use, such as “show/hide navigation menu.”

Brief

When we’re creating labels, be brief and use lots of verbs. That way, people using assistive tools won’t have to listen to long descriptions and can instead focus on what action they need to take.

Zoom text

We follow certain standards for accessible patterns for front-end, and for testing color contrast and Zoom text level.

Testing

As you're making accessibility refinements and updates to your app or site, you can use various tools to test the experience and determine how to improve accessibility further.

Web extensions

There are web extensions you can use to get a report on your site. For example, WAVE Evaluation Tool can run accessibility tests. If there’s a failure, you’ll be directed to a document with suggestions for fixing the issue.

Product check

For products, you can try the accessibility checker app. Tools won’t catch everything, however, so it’s smart to watch actual people using your app or site.
