Manual Accessibility Testing

There are two primary sets of accessibility guidelines, and we have developed a range of manual testing techniques for verifying compliance with both of them.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines

The W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) specify a wide range of technical criteria to be tested. These are divided into three levels of importance, which are refered to as level A, AA and AAA or 1, 2 and 3.

These tests indicate what the level of accessibility should be, not what it actually is. If you want to know how accessible your website actually is, it is necessary to conduct user testing.

The WCAG apply throughout the world except where specific local guidelines are enforced, such as Section 508 in the USA.

WCAG 1.0 was released in 1999 and was superseded by WCAG 2.0 in December 2008. Not all clients intend to adopt WCAG 2.0, and we will test to whichever you prefer.

Section 508

Section 508 guidelines only apply to Federal or Federally-funded websites in the USA. They comprise all the WCAG 1.0 Priority 1 checkpoints plus five additional ones that are not in the WCAG.

Other Guidelines

We can test for compliance with other certification schemes such as RNIB's See-it-right, and we can advise companies wishing to create their own internal guidelines.
