Accessibility Audits
At Midlands Online, our team brings a wealth of accessibility experience to guarantee that websites meet WCAG 2.1 AA and AAA compliance standards. We make use of user-friendly accessibility tools like Wave and Axe, which help us find and address bugs that might impact the user experience. Any problems we find are logged in Azure DevOps and resolved in a controlled environment before being implemented on the live website.
In our accessibility testing, we include a colour contrast analysis to ensure that the colours align with WCAG guidelines. After that, we conduct hands-on testing using tools like Dragon, ZoomText, and ChromeVOX to confirm that our designs are compatible with users who require assistive technologies.
