508/ACCESSIBILITY TESTING
At Simple Solution, we are dedicated to ensuring that all digital products meet the highest accessibility standards, complying with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Our extensive expertise in 508/Accessibility testing ensures that your website, applications, and digital content are fully accessible to users with disabilities.
Screen Reader Compatibility
We ensure that your digital products work seamlessly with screen readers, enabling visually impaired users to interact with content through text-to-speech or Braille display devices. By testing with tools like JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver, we ensure that all text, images, and interactive elements are properly described and navigable.
Keyboard Navigation
Many users with disabilities rely on keyboard-only navigation. We test and ensure that all website and application functionality is accessible using a keyboard, without needing a mouse. This includes testing tabbing order, focus visibility, and ensuring that all actionable elements like buttons and links are reachable via keyboard shortcuts.
Color Contrast and Visual Elements
Ensuring that text and visual elements have sufficient contrast is vital for users with low vision or color blindness. We evaluate contrast ratios and adjust them according to WCAG standards, ensuring readability. Additionally, we test visual elements to make sure that non-text content, such as icons and infographics, has sufficient description and alternative text.
Multimedia Accessibility
We specialize in making multimedia content accessible through the inclusion of captions, audio descriptions, and text alternatives for images and videos. Whether it’s a tutorial video or an interactive infographic, our team ensures that all multimedia assets are usable by users with disabilities, providing inclusive access to your content.
Form Accessibility
Forms are crucial for user interaction, but they can be a barrier to those with disabilities if not designed with accessibility in mind. We thoroughly test and remediate form fields, labels, error messages, and help texts to ensure they are navigable, properly labeled, and compatible with assistive technologies.
Testing with Real Users and Tools
Our process involves both automated testing tools and manual testing with real users, including those with disabilities, to ensure a comprehensive review of your digital content’s accessibility. This includes using industry-standard tools such as Axe, Wave, and Lighthouse for automated checks and conducting real-world usability tests for a more accurate assessment.
