WebAIM offers expertise and support every step of the way:</p> <h2><span class="fas fa-check"></span> Accessibility Audits</h2> <p>Our team of accessibility specialists will do a deep-dive into a representative sample (usually around 8 to 15 individual pages or views) of your site or application.</p> <p>We'll deliver a comprehensive report that provides an overview of WCAG conformance, lists the accessibility barriers we find, describes their impact on users, and recommends solutions for remediation.</p> <p>Our reports are designed to be instructive; to empower teams to create and maintain accessible interfaces independently. Beyond mere "bug lists," our reports illustrate concepts and examples for your team to apply broadly throughout your website.</p> <h2><span class="fas fa-palette"></span> UX Design Evaluations</h2> <p>Identifying possible accessibility barriers early in design creates a smoother path to implementing an accessible product. Your design artifacts capture everything from interaction patterns to workflows and layout to color selection. WebAIM design evaluations can focus on something as granular as an individual component or as large as a multi-step process in a web application. We will annotate designs and mockups to highlight opportunities to make the final product more accessible.</p> <p>Our UX and design evaluation will help you to account for accessibility before shipping a single line of code or HTML.</p> <h2><span class="fas fa-robot"></span> WAVE AIM Report</h2> <p>An <a href="https://wave.webaim.org/aim">Accessibility IMpact (AIM)</a> report provides accessibility details for every page in your site. AIM leverages the same WAVE technology that has evaluated 100s of millions of webpages since 2001. Within five business days, you get:</p> <ul> <li>Your site's AIM score - a measure of accessibility of your website.</li> <li>A color-coded, sortable spreadsheet of all WAVE data for any number of site pages.</li> <li>Manual accessibility test results provided by one of WebAIM's web accessibility experts.</li> <li>Documentation for each data point so you can address site accessibility issues right away.</li> </ul> <p>An AIM report is a great companion to an accessibility audit—accessibility data for your entire website along with detailed, expert guidance on a sample of site pages.</p> <h2><span class="fas fa-life-ring"></span> Technical Assistance</h2> <p>WebAIM is with you through the remediation process. When you need us, we're available for consultation via email, phone, Zoom—or even in person—to answer questions, provide examples, perform follow-up evaluations, and help demystify accessibility.</p> <p>We can even customize a private <a href="../training/#customized">training seminar</a> for your team or strategic consultation to help your organization embrace inclusion and implement accessibility strategically.</p> <h2><span class="fas fa-certificate"></span> Accessible Website Certification</h2> <p>Once all barriers have been resolved and verified, WebAIM can publish (at your option) an <a href="../certification/">substantial conformance statement</a> that is valid for two years (<a href="../certification/example">here's an example</a>). There is no separate cost; the only cost is for the evaluation effort that leads to it.</p> <h2><span class="fas fa-question"></span> For More Information</h2> <p>Please feel free to <a href="/contact/">contact us</a> or <a href="/contact/faq">browse our frequently-asked questions</a>.</p> <p>What can we do for you?</p> </div> </article>  <aside id="articlemeta"> <div id="related"> <h2>Related Resources</h2> <ul> <li><a href="/services/">WebAIM Services</a></li> <li><a href="/services/certification/">Accessible website Certification</a></li> <li><a href="/services/consulting/">Consulting & Technical Assistance</a></li> <li><a href="/standards/wcag/checklist">WCAG 2 Checklist</a></li> </ul> </div> </aside> </main> <footer> <div id="footerresources"> <div class="footerblock"> <h2 id="copyright">©2024 WebAIM</h2> <p id="contact">Institute for Disability Research, Policy, and Practice<br> Utah State University<br> 6807 Old Main Hill<br> Logan, UT 84322-6807<br> <a class="phone" href="tel:4357977024">435.797.7024</a></p> <div id="checkpage"> <h2>Check Your Accessibility</h2> <form action="https://wave.webaim.org/report" novalidate> <label for="waveurl">Web site address:</label> <input type="url" id="waveurl" name="url" title="Web site address"> <input type="submit" value="WAVE"> </form> </div> </div> <div class="footerblock"> <h2 id="blog">From the Blog</h2> <ul><li><a href="/blog/severity-ratings/">Using Severity Ratings to Prioritize Web Accessibility Remediation</a></li><li><a href="/blog/25-tips/">25 Accessibility Tips to Celebrate 25 Years</a></li><li><a href="/blog/celebrating-webaims-25th-anniversary/">Celebrating WebAIM's 25th Anniversary</a></li><li><a href="/blog/introducing-ncademi/">Introducing NCADEMI: The National Center on Accessible Digital Educational Materials & Instruction聽</a></li></ul> </div> <div class="footerblock"> <h2 id="popular">Popular Resources</h2> <ul> <li><a href="/training/virtual">WebAIM Training</a></li> <li><a href="/standards/wcag/checklist">WCAG 2 Checklist</a></li> <li><a href="/newsletter">WebAIM Monthly Newsletter</a></li> <li><a href="/resources/contrastchecker">Color Contrast Checker</a></li> <li><a href="/resources/designers/">Web Accessibility for Designers</a></li> <li><a href="http://wave.webaim.org/">WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="footerlinks"> <ul> <li><a id="footercontact" href="/contact">Contact</a></li> <li><a id="footerabout" href="/about">About</a></li> <li><a id="footerrss" href="/community/rss">RSS Feeds</a></li> <li><a id="footertwit" href="http://twitter.com/webaim">Twitter</a></li> <li><a id="footercopyright" href="/copyright">Copyright & Terms of Use</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> </footer> </body> </html>
