Is your site accessible?
The short answer: Probably not.

Accessible website design.

Do you need an accessible website? Every website begins with the client’s vision. Sometimes the client is not certain of the vision, and this is OK. We walk our clients through a design process that includes determining what the business needs are, discovering the overall feel of the website, and creating the lasting impression you want to make on potential clients.

Currently, many websites are developed with accessibility barriers that make them difficult or impossible for some people to use. Making the web accessible benefits individuals, businesses, and society. International web standards define what is needed for accessibility, specifically WCAG 2.1 and the AODA in Canada.

Website re-development.

Does your website’s theme support accessibility? There are many themes in WordPress, Shopify, and other CMS that have accessibility errors. People with disabilities can have trouble accessing those websites. Our Accessibility re-design services help to address the accessibility issues related to the theme, style, and template of one or multiple pages of the website.

Sometimes your website just needs a bit of help to reach compliance. We can update the accessibility barriers like style errors, HTML/CSS syntax errors, keyboard accessibility problems, images without alt text, contrast errors, and many more.

Consultation.

Do you need help identifying potential accessibility issues on your website? An accessibility consultation can provide support, advice and guidance about how to create accessible digital products and services.

TSD can help you get started identifying the needs of users with disabilities, locating and remediating barriers to effective use, and keeping your website both easy to use and compliant with applicable laws.

Website audits.

Do you need an accessibility audit of your website? A web accessibility audit is an expert evaluation of your website against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), ensuring that it meets the website compliance requirements. We provide website audits services to identify and assess the accessibility barriers present in your website. These audits involve a thorough review and analysis of your website’s design, structure, content, and functionality to determine its compliance with accessibility standards and guidelines.

If you would like to make your website accessible, or confirm that your website is accessible, the first step is to get an audit done to identify where there are issues. This is a great place to start your web accessibility journey.

Remediation.

Do you need help implementing accessibility repairs on your website? Accessibility remediation is about making digital solutions such as websites, applications, documents and content comply with the established accessibility standards and guidelines. The main goal is to improve the user experience for people with disabilities by ensuring that the digital products and services meet the required accessibility criteria.

In order to make the most use of your accessibility audit, accessibility barriers need to be removed. We understand that this is a challenge for many businesses and organizations due to the lack of accessibility knowledge from their development teams. Our web accessibility experts can complete the repairs for you, ensuring WCAG compliance.

Accessibility Maintenance.

Do you need help with continued maintenance or repairs on your website? Accessibility compliance isn’t a one-time fix. TSD recommends ongoing monitoring, regular health reports and accessibility reassessment every six (6) months, and the Government of Ontario requires AODA compliance reporting every three years.

One code release is all it takes to alter your website enough to make it inaccessible. After months or years of hard work and plenty of time and money spent on accessibility, shouldn’t you put in the last mile effort to ensure your hard work pays off?
