Accessibility Audits
Any accessibility project starts and ends with an audit. SoftServe’s Accessibility Audit is a comprehensive evaluation designed to verify compliance with standards and highlight the product's accessibility level to a global audience. Whether you're aiming for a complete Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) audit or seeking a rapid assessment to pinpoint and address barriers, we customize our approach to fit your company's unique accessibility journey.
SoftServe performs Accessibility Audits adhering to:
- Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0/2.1/2.2
- Section 508 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
- EN 301 549 The European standard for accessibility
- Other leading standards and regulations applicable in the United States, Canada, Europe, and other regions.
We understand that every product is different. Factors such as product complexity, the current level of accessibility, and timing influence the type of audit you may need. That's why we offer audits of two types:
- Quick Accessibility Assessment
- Accessibility Audit
