Web Accessibility

Inclusive web design caters to individuals with disabilities, granting them full access to content and services online. Ultimately, search engines, like Google, favor accessible websites, which means they are more likely to rank higher in search results. At DigiTech Services OÜ, we provide web development accessibility services prioritizing users & your business results.

Web design, development and testing with a focus on accessibility

What it takes to make a website accessible is a team of UI/UX designers, front-end developers, and QA engineers. We have them all!

UI/UX designers

work on an interface that is both visually appealing and easy to use for people with disabilities. UI/UX designers work through the elements of the page, their size, fonts, colors, contrasted elements, and making them harmonious with other structural elements, appealing to users, compliant with branding, etc.

Front-end developers

are responsible for creating and managing the site's semantic HTML. This involves writing code that is not only meaningful and interpretable by humans but also machine-readable for tools like screen readers and tab navigation. The aim of accessibility in web development is to facilitate an accessible, user-friendly browsing experience.

QA testers

are tasked with meticulously checking the website's accessibility. This is done both manually and using a range of digital tools. The purpose is to ensure that the site is accessible to all before it's launched to the public. This is a crucial step in guaranteeing a seamless user experience and maintaining the integrity of the brand.

Why is accessibility web development important for your business?

Currently, over 1 billion people in the world are affected by some kind of impairment - visual, audial, motor. An online environment accessible to everyone is not a privilege but a necessity today, which is strictly controlled legally. Legal complications are not the only way how poor accessibility can negatively affect your business. Given the number of people with higher accessibility demands, interfaces not catering to their needs won’t allow a vast category of people to make good use of the services you offer. So in order to cover all the potential customers, it’s important to make sure the information on your business website is available to everyone’s perception.

How much does web development accessibility cost?

The cost of any IT services depends on the duration of work. In the case of adjusting accessibility to certain standards, there are two possible scenarios. The first is when you come for a product and want it accessible from the start. In this case, add approximately 15-20% of the cost of developing the same project with no work on accessibility. The second option is when adding accessibility to an existing product is required. Then, depending on the complexity of its design, the duration of work can reach 50% of the total website development time.

What are the challenges in web accessibility testing?

The more complex the design, the more challenging it is to test and improve its accessibility. An accessible design suggests simplicity of interface which is not always in tune with trends in web design. A website rich in crafty features can require sufficient alterations, which adds to the work duration thus cost.
Another challenge in accessibility testing is simulation opportunities. We at DigiTech Services OÜ use a wide range of assistive technologies, still, every person has their unique limitations that can not be reproduced with 100% accuracy. What we do is stick strictly to the latest Google standards for ensuring web accessibility.
