What’s the best way of getting to accessibility compliance in 2023?

Almost all organisations want to improve their accessibility.

But what should be their aim: WCAG 2.0 AA, WCAG 2.1 AA, people with disabilities being able to use their site/app/campaign?

And what’s the best way of testing if you got there: getting a tool to automate accessibility testing, getting a WCAG audit, doing one of our Live Audits, asking your usability testers to include people with disabilities in their testing, training your people to audit things themselves?

And how do all of these impact the most important thing – fixing the issues you find, not just doing the testing?

In this webinar, Yacoob Woozeer and Jonathan Hassell talk through what might be best for your organisation, depending on its size, budgets, existing practices, and what your aim is.

Come and find out how to make sure the time and money you spend on accessibility really benefits you, including:

  • What the right compliance goal could be for you – it’s not always WCAG 2.1 AA, especially if you want to get most financial return from your accessibility efforts
  • What types of accessibility testing might give you the best cost-benefits for your size and type of website or app
  • How training your own QA testers to include accessibility checks in their testing can save you huge time and cost in fixing
  • How integrating people with disabilities in your existing usability testing can bring you great accessibility insights for little extra cost
  • How talking with your auditor can ensure fixes they suggest are suitable for your ways of working, and so get things fixed quickly
  • How fixing the accessibility skills of your teams, could be as important as fixing the accessibility of your products, and how to do both together
