We specialize in ADA website accessibility compliance and testing and more. Our team will help create an experience where people with disabilities can usefully access all of its features through any means necessary: including switch control hardware or software; screen reader programs that converted text into audio files so they could read it themselves while guests browse without worries about missing important information on webpages (such as prices); magnifiers which enables visually impaired visitors see what’s happening close up by doubling their normal field-of view–allowing them greater freedom than ever before when visiting places like stores where salespeople may not want customers touching products; and closed captioning for deaf or hearing-impaired users who want to be able to follow along with audio content.
When you work with Wandke Consulting, you can rest assured knowing that your website will be accessible, inclusive and compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We will thoroughly test your site to identify any potential accessibility barriers. You can trust that our team of experts will provide you with the best possible service to make your website as accessible as possible.
Disability is a reality of life, but it doesn't have to be a barrier.
We're here for you - as people with disabilities who are also business owners ourselves and know firsthand how difficult web accessibility can sometimes feel like fighting against the system all day long just so your site will work when no one else does.
User Impacts
Dexterity
If you're a business owner or organization (non-profit or otherwise), it's important to make your website accessible to everyone.
This means making sure it's compatible with Switch Control, Switch Access, and on-screen keyboards. These features make websites easier to use for people who lack dexterity and can't use a mouse or keyboard. In the United States alone, 19.9 million people could benefit from ADA compliant websites with switch access.
Vision
Making websites easier for those with vision impairments means adding audio equivalents to all visual content.
This will ensure that people who are blind, low vision, or have reading disabilities can access all the information on a website. Approximately 15.2 million Americans have some form of vision impairment, so it is important to make sure that their needs are taken into account when designing and developing websites.
Hearing
If you are a non-profit business owner with a website, it is important to make sure that your site is accessible to the deaf community.
This means providing visual equivalents to all audio content and videos, as well as transcripts and captions where necessary. Roughly 7.6 million Americans are deaf or hard of hearing, so it's important to make your site as user-friendly as possible for them.
Building An ADA Compliant Website
Usability Testing
This process answers one simple question: Can a person with a disability navigate your website easily?
We provide usability testing, employing the use of assistive technologies to ensure the front end of your website complies with web accessibility guidelines. In order to review your website’s usability for people with disabilities, we apply screen reader, screen magnifier, on-screen keyboards, and switch testing.
Technical Testing
The testing that we do helps to ensure that your website meets accessibility guidelines, and after we're done, it will be easier for people with disabilities to use.
We add scripts that identify the inaccessible elements of your website and make them accessible by adding ARIA tags. In some cases, making the website accessible requires more alterations.
