Accessibility coaching: a quality approach

We consider accessibility as the removal or circumvention of barriers due to disability situations related to the use of digital technologies.

It is therefore both a social inclusion approach and a quality approach.

This quality is not added at the end of the project as an additional function or icing on the cake. It is rooted throughout the development process and concerns the various production roles: project management, graphic design, writing, architectural design, integration, programming, quality control, training, etc.

Our approach is therefore to accompany you throughout the web content production to evaluate and remediate accessibility issues and make you endorse these good professional practices and the vigilance they require.

The classic way is to work as the following scenario, including all or part of these steps:

1. Initial meeting with the team members
2. Formal accessibility assessment of the wireframe
3. Formal accessibility assessment of design concepts
4. Formal and functional assessments of an HTML template (HyperText Markup Language)
5. Formal and functional assessments of a sample of selected pages

Formal and functional assessments

Formal assessment verify compliance with the entirety of the accessibility criteria of a standard on a given sample, through questions and answers. A detailed written report indicates encountered errors and possible solutions.

Functional assessment uses adaptation tools (including screen readers) to simulate scenarios of use. A detailed written report is also included.
