Test Accessibility /

Increase visitors, ensure legal compliance and support best practice.

How accessible is a website to users, particularly those with disabilities, older computers or mobile devices?

SiteRay performs a wide range of tests to evaluate and make recommendations for improving a site. These include the use of alternative text, standards compliance, headings, CSS, spiderability and more.

Many countries now enforce website Accessibility by law, and non-compliant websites are vulnerable to legal action. Most public sector websites have strict Accessibility targets.

With mobile access to the Internet growing rapidly, the principles that serve accessible websites increasingly serve to support mobile web browsers, such as mobile phones and PDAs.

The techniques used to improve Accessibility overlap extensively with those used to improve Search Engine Optimisation. Accordingly improving one will often improve the other. Search engines explore websites using a reduced set of technology (e.g. without Flash, Javascript, Java), and are therefore very similar to many users with disabilities or less capable computers.
