Accessibility Assessment

Accessibility is important for everyone. And even more important for people with an impairment. If you provide services that are accessible to everyone, it might also lead to more users, a better user experience and a better reputation. It is an ongoing process. Hike One can help you with an accessibility assessment. One-off, or continuous.

Typical bottlenecks

No organisation consciously chooses not to be accessible to people with an impairment. However, it might prove difficult to achieve.

Bottlenecks that we often encounter in practice are:

Insufficient knowledge.
No continuity. Your products are constantly changing. Browsers and devices are constantly changing. Accessibility is not a one-time project.
The use of external suppliers for components, such as a chat widget, that are inaccessible.
Stopping after reaching WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) compliance.

Hike One is experienced when it comes to accessibility and user-friendliness for everyone. We are happy to help improve the accessibility of your services and products.
