Bringing accessibility to Products and Websites
Estimates show that over 54 Million people who
are online suffer from disabilities. 68% of
baby boomers between the ages of 44-55 are already online
and almost 25% of these have some disability or the
other. Understanding the importance of this segment
of users the US Federal Government established standards
and guidelines for making products accessible under
Section 508, simultaneously the W3C committee setup
standards for the Web – Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines (WCAG).
At AccessABILITY Software we do not just sell you products-
we provide complete solutions for making your product
or site Accessible. We realize that accessibility is
not a one time solution but a lifecycle commitment
so we bring our Accessibility knowledge and best practices
to your team through an end to end offering. We understand
that solutions have to be delivered in a cost effective
and timely manner.
At AccessABILITY we have encapsulated our best practices
in our AccessAble® methodology. We combine our domain
knowledge of Accessibility, with our proven software
development methodology and best practices to deliver
cost effective solutions and delivery in a timely manner.
AccessAbleSM
Methodology:
AccessAble SM is our Methodology to provide a lifecycle
solution to making your Website or software product
compliant to existing accessibility standards. At AccessABILITY
we realize that accessibility remediation is
not a one time process but a lifelong discipline.
Our methodology stems from this and helps ensure that
your developers become educated and self sufficient
during your product development lifecycles. Our AccessAble
methodology consists of 5 distinct lifecycle stages:
AccessAble SM 101:
Here we demystify Federal Section 508 Guidelines
as well as the W3C’s Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines (WCAG). We introduce you to tools and interfaces
used by the handicapped working with Computers, Software
and Websites.
AccessAble SM Training:
At AccessABILITY we recognize that accessibility is
a best practice that has to become part of a programmer’s
portfolio. We have crafted this program to ensure that
your programmers get exposed to the standards
and tools needed to make their programs accessible.
AccessAble SM Audit:
Our Accessibility Analysts sit with you to understand
your product or Website and build a system design
specification from an Accessibility point of view.
We set up an engagement team to Audit your software
product or Website to identify accessibility guideline
non-conformance. The team delivers a list of non-conformance
as well as guidelines to ensure conformance in future
releases.
AccessAble SM Remedy:
Our engagement process is a cost effective framework
to ensure that your software product or Website can
conform to the established rules for accessibility
in a cost effective manner and in a timely manner. The
deliverable is corrected code, documentation and test
results.
