Website Accessibility Management

At EnlightWorks, we believe our clients' websites should be accessible to everyone. We have undergone extensive accessibility training, consulted with disability access consultants, and utilized proven accessibility systems and tools to deliver an accessibility service that lets our clients' website visitors know they care about website accessibility.

When we build new websites, we design and develop them with accessibility in mind. We also offer ongoing accessibility management within our regular Managed Performance Plans and standalone Managed Accessibility Website plans.

Website Accessibility Management

What's Included Accessibility Plans Pricing

Website Accessibility Design

There are dozens of ways to approach website accessibility. There are overlay solutions that promise your website will be accessible with one piece of code, and there is the manual process of ensuring the website code is built based on website accessibility best practices provided by ADA and WCAG guidelines.

Our approach is to use something other than overlays, as they can interfere with people already using assistive technology to access websites. We instead build into our web design process the best practices for accessible website design and have learned how to create websites that are both accessible and attractive to our client's target audience.

With accessibility in mind, we ensure that our client's websites communicate their dedication to website accessibility and offer their visitors a way to contact our clients or us if they have trouble accessing their websites so that we can do our best to fix any accessibility errors they are experiencing.

Ongoing Accessibility Management

Automated Testing & Remediation

Once a website is live, we begin monitoring it with our automated website accessibility management platform, built on the WAVE platform. This tool allows us to look for accessibility issues like low contrast, empty links, missing form labels, images without alternative text, and more. We then fix any accessibility errors or warnings our automated testing finds and provide reporting to our client every month.

Manual Accessibility Testing

Then, every quarter or every six months, depending on your plan, we will manually go through our client's top 5 visited website pages and perform manual keyboard testing and testing with a screen reader to check for any manual accessibility errors. Manual testing ensures a website is more accessible. Our manual testing includes checking for the impact of low-contrast content, the presence and prevalence of animations and movement, keyboard focus indicators, and more.

Accessibility Statements

For every website on a managed website plan, we will add a website accessibility statement and an accessibility guidance statement for website visitors who may not be using assistive technologies to access the website. The goal of these statements is to provide assurance to our client's website visitors that our clients are doing everything they can to ensure their websites are accessible to everyone and offer ways to get support if their website visitors run into any trouble.
