Website Accessibility Checking

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are an internationally recognised set of guidelines for improving web accessibility.

It is a legal requirement in the UK that all web sites operated by the public sector (local authorities, government bodies etc.) meet the WCAG AA standard.

It is also important for non-government body websites to be accessible to a wide audience, expanding your reach to a broader client base.

West March Systems can check through your website using various tools to assess the accessibility of your website and provide you with a report of what is required for you to meet the WCAG AA standard for your site.

The check includes:

Keyboard Navigation
Colour Contrasts
Menu Navigation
Buttons and Links
Zooming and collapsing pages
Page structure
Content skipping
Correct text, image and element Labeling
Correct use of accessibility attributes
PEN (penetration) security check

The check is designed to identify adjustments needed to help ensure WCAG 2.1 AA standard is maintained.
