Ensuring your site is accessible is a fundamental of any good website. Web accessibility testing ensures your website or web-based application can be accessed by all users. Web accessibility testing as a minimum examines how your website or application has been coded by developers. Symplicit conducts an accessibility audit in which code for key parts of your site or application is checked to ensure it meets international standards developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Many business owners are unsure how and why they should make their website accessible, and a common misconception is that ‘accessibility’ means catering for vision-impaired users by making the website bland, boring or ugly. Thankfully nowadays we can have great looking, accessible websites, and the business case for ensuring your site is accessible is compelling – more customers will be able to see your website more easily.
