The value of a full web site accessibility report
Providing an efective web-based service is the cheapest way of doing business. Our accessibility report will provide you with the information you need to make sure that your web site is easy to use by everyone. If a person with a disability can use your site, purchase your goods or services, pay bills or claim benefits then everyone else can.
All our reports come with on-going support to help you implement any required changes. Our accessibility training and accessibility testing services help you to continue updating your site in an accessible and usable format.
What's in the web site accessibility report ?
The standard Userite Accessibility report includes five sections. We write our reports in easy to understand language, avoiding jargon and explaining any technical terms which we have to use.

How we conduct the web site accessibility study
- Consultant explores the web site to establish its purpose and intended target audience. This is confirmed with the client.
- Technician audits the underlying HTML/XHTML code. This code is the foundation on which the web site is built and it is therefore essential that only valid code is employed if the site is to be universally accessible.
- Technician checks that the page content is structured correctly and that subsections headings, lists and data tables are marked-up correctly. We also check that any functional scripts have HTML/XHTML alternatives provided.
- Technician audits the style sheets (CSS) to check that they are valid and produce styles consistent with the WAI guidelines.
- Technician conducts a detailed accessibility audit using the W3C Accessibility Initiative (WAI) checklist for the level of accessibility targeted. This audit uses a combination of automated software and manual checking.
- User panel is selected and provided with survey instructions and a set of agreed tasks.
- Consultant collates user panel feedback and follows up any queries.
- Technician and trainers draw up any recommended solutions to any accessibility issues identified in the previous stages.
- Consultant collates the draft report combining input from the technicians and user panel members with his/her own research including screen shots and explanatory text where appropriate.
- Consultant and technician draw up a recommended action plan.
- Final report is compiled, proof read and prepared for dispatch.
All reports come with three months email support to help you implement any changes plus a web site accessibility test to confirm compliance with the WAI guidelines on completion.
Reports are normally written with reference to the WAI guidelines (version 2) published in December 2008. If you require, we can still deliver a report using the original guidelines (version 1) or the American government's Section 508 guidelines. Please let us know by using our contact form.
