An accessibility audit is a thorough, professional evaluation of how well your digital properties meet the needs of people with disabilities. This isn’t something anyone can know just by glancing at your website, or spending a few minutes using your app. When an audit is carried out properly, every component is examined and tested by experts, so that when it’s complete, you can be confident that the report has identified any and all barriers.
A website, app or document is considered accessible if it can be perceived, understood, navigated and interacted with by everyone, whether or not they happen to have disabilities. It doesn’t discriminate, with sections of information that can only be understood by someone who can hear, or certain app features that can only be used by someone who can click a mouse. Rather, it is barrier free for everyone. That includes people who are using assistive technologies (AT) such as a screen reader. For more information, visit our blog about this subject.
