Our website accessibility tool checks for four main standards on every scan. These standards make up the fundamentals of the WCAG accessibility guidelines:
- Perceivable
- Operable
- Understandable
- Robust
Perceivable refers to looking at factors such as providing text alternatives to non-text multimedia such as images and video. Moreover, making your website easier to see, our accessibility checkers color contrast feature is particularly useful for this.
Operable refers primarily to usability, our accessibility analyser will highlight any navigation issues on your website. Bringing careful attention to areas such as keyboard navigation, ensuring that all types of users can easily access all aspects of a website and find content. It is also important to ensure the any content that is found does not cause any negative physical reactions such as seizures.
Understandable refers to how readable a websites content is. Accessibility Checking tools will look for descriptive labels, ensure the website behaves in a consistent way and that content is written in a clear manner.
Robust refers to how compatible a website is with a range of assistive tools. The Recite Me accessibility analyser can be used to check your website and see how efficiently assistive technologies can read and interpret the on-page content. Ensuring that if there is any specific mark-up or code, that it is written in an accessible way.
