Accessibility is the Right Thing to Do
Your website is the hub for all your activities and initiatives. If people with different abilities can’t access your site, you’re missing out on a huge audience. According to the US Census Bureau, more than 40 million people in the United States live with a disability.
At ArcStone, our approach to accessibility is human-centric. Whether it’s an audit or a new website, accessibility tasks are conducted by humans, not software tools that often miss critical issues.
When websites are designed with accessibility best practices, all users have equal access to information, making the web a more inclusive place for everyone.
Discovery & Planning
An effective website with advanced functionality requires planning. During this phase, we’ll learn about your organization’s goals and audiences. We’ll also document any required 3rd party integrations you need and get a handle on the scope of your project.
Site Structure
The structure of your website shows web browsers and accessibility tools how your website is organized, how critical functions behave, and offers guidance on how to present your content.
Design
Your audience shouldn’t face any challenges when navigating your website. Accessibility design is predictable, yet modern. At this phase, we’ll look at color contrast, imagery, text presentation, and more to leverage your brand in an accessible way.
Content & SEO
When it comes to content, we adhere to best practices and provide you with an accessibility guide specific to your project so that future updates will maintain a high level of accessibility.
Accessibility and inclusive design best practices align with good SEO. In other words, if your site is accessible, it’s also optimized for search engines.
