People who have a disability can access the web – but only websites and mobile apps that have been designed with their capabilities in mind.
What is Website Accessibility?
Website accessibility is making sure you haven’t excluded people with visual, hearing, motor or cognitive impairments from accessing your content. According to Statistics Canada’s 2017 Canadian Survey on Disability, 22% of Canadians (6.2 million people) over the age of 15 have at least one disability that limits everyday activities.
What’s Included in the Website Accessibility Plan?
Implementation Plan
How close are you and what will it take for you to get there? We will conduct a website compliance assessment against WCAG 2.0 Level AA criteria with a report of findings and an implementation plan.
Maintenance Work
Accessibility requires constant work and updates. In addition to the implementation plan, we will provide maintenance work that allows us to verify ongoing new content and pages, that lies outside the scope of the initial implementation plan.
Reporting
Each month we will provide performance reports and interpretations that provide insight on how our efforts are doing based on our targets outlined in the implementation plan.
Website Accessibility Insurance Plan
In addition to the implementation plan, we will provide reports and maintenance work. This allows us to verify ongoing new content and pages, that lies outside the scope of the initial implementation plan.
