Make Your Website More Inclusive and Accessible Through UX Design
At Sandstorm, we recognize the critical importance of making digital content accessible to everyone, including the 15% of the global population with disabilities. With 96% of websites having accessibility issues, our goal is to provide solutions that make your websites and mobile applications inclusive and user-friendly.
Our Comprehensive Approach
We utilize a structured, four-step approach to ensure compliance and enhance web accessibility:
1. Accessibility Audit
Our process begins with a detailed audit to identify accessibility issues on your website and mobile applications. We employ both automated tools and manual reviews to uncover all potential problems. Our experts use tools like Pa11y NodeJS, SiteSort, and Monsido, combined with human analysis, to deliver a comprehensive assessment.
What We Examine:
- Compliance with WCAG 2.2 standards
- Keyboard operability
- Cross-browser compatibility
- Color contrast and visual focus states
- Usability for individuals using assistive technologies
2. Development and Design Enhancements
After identifying the issues, we prioritize and implement development and design improvements. Our focus is on making impactful changes that enhance accessibility without overhauling your entire site. This includes:
- Adjusting color contrasts
- Ensuring logical heading structures
- Providing clear and descriptive link texts
- Adding ARIA labels to form elements
3. Content Accessibility
Content plays a pivotal role in web accessibility. We help you refine your content to ensure it is accessible to all users. Our services include:
- Training content editors on best practices
- Updating and optimizing text for readability
- Ensuring all multimedia content has appropriate alternative texts and descriptions
4. Ongoing Testing and Monitoring
Accessibility is not a one-time project but an ongoing commitment. We offer regular testing and monitoring services to ensure your website remains accessible as standards evolve and new content is added. This includes:
- Quarterly accessibility scans
- Continuous feedback and improvement cycles
- Detailed reports highlighting progress and areas needing attention
