FIREANT’s Approach to Website Accessibility Audits

The importance of digital accessibility audits.
Our approach to website and digital accessibility audits are designed to provide a comprehensive and actionable roadmap for creating inclusive digital experiences. FIREANT’s accessibility audits combine human expertise and cutting-edge technology to identify and remediate accessibility barriers, ensuring inclusive online experiences for everyone.

Human-Centered Approach
Automated accessibility testing tools are a valuable starting point, but they can only identify a portion of accessibility issues. At FIREANT, we understand that true accessibility requires a human touch. Our certified accessibility professionals go beyond automated scans, conducting rigorous manual reviews using a variety of assistive technologies like screen readers, keyboard navigation, and voice recognition software. We test with real users with disabilities whenever possible, gaining invaluable insights into their actual experiences. This human-centered approach ensures we identify both the obvious technical errors and the subtle usability issues that automated tools often miss. We understand the nuances of how people with different disabilities interact with technology, ensuring a truly inclusive experience.

Focus on WCAG Compliance
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is the internationally recognized standard for digital accessibility. We meticulously audit your website against the latest WCAG 2.1, 2.2 guidelines, ensuring it meets the required criteria for different levels of conformance (A, AA, and AAA). We clearly explain the meaning and implications of each success criterion, helping you understand the “why” behind the recommendations. Our goal is not just to help you achieve technical compliance but to create a genuinely accessible and usable experience for all users. We’ll work with you to determine the appropriate level of conformance based on your specific needs and legal obligations.

Customized Audit Packages
We recognize that every organization has unique accessibility needs and budget constraints. That’s why we offer a flexible range of audit packages. From a targeted assessment of specific user flows to a comprehensive audit of your entire digital ecosystem, we can tailor our approach to meet your exact requirements. We’ll work closely with you to understand your goals and develop a customized audit plan that provides the most valuable insights within your budget. This ensures you receive the most relevant and cost-effective solution.

Actionable Recommendations and Remediation Support
Our audit reports are not just lists of technical jargon. We provide clear, concise, and actionable recommendations for remediating identified accessibility issues. Prioritizing these recommendations based on their impact on users and the level of effort required to implement them. We go beyond simply identifying problems; we provide practical solutions and guidance on how to fix them. Furthermore, we offer remediation support, working alongside your development team to implement the necessary changes efficiently and effectively. Allowing us to ensure that the fixes are implemented correctly and contribute to a genuinely inclusive experience.

Building long-term partnerships with our clients, providing ongoing support and training to empower your team to maintain accessibility standards and proactively address future issues. We offer customized training programs that educate your developers, designers, and content creators on accessibility best practices. Above all, embedding accessibility into your organization’s culture and ensures that inclusivity is considered at every stage of the development lifecycle.
