We approach digital accessibility in a smart way. Instead of reviewing the entire application pixel by pixel, we select a defined sample. We do this together and in advance. Within that sample, we follow the WCAG-EM methodology: a proven way to specifically identify examples of what can be improved.
The advantage? We don't just point out that something is wrong, but also where. Concrete, clear, and with examples. This way, we avoid double work and provide developers with exactly the input they need. Two clear examples of buttons with insufficient contrast are much more valuable than a long list where every single button is mentioned separately.
Interesting for teams that want to:
Quickly and easily identify current accessibility bottlenecks in an application using the WCAG Quickscan.
Target audience:
Product owners, decision makers (CIO, CTO)
Duration:
1 week, depending on the desired scope.
Location:
At your own office and at Okapion in Rotterdam
In an accessible and pragmatic way, you'll quickly see where it's best to focus your energy.
Show people clearly and visually where potential improvements can be made. Get concrete tools on how to achieve them.
A comprehensive audit initially involves a lot of overhead that doesn't address the low-hanging fruit. In this iterative setup, we tackle that together so we can move towards certification well-prepared.

Accessibility Report
We provide a clear and visual report on the WCAG criteria, including the results of the sample test (pass/no-pass). If a criterion is not met, we clearly explain why and suggest a possible solution, if an obvious one exists.

Workshop
We will conduct a workshop with all stakeholders, where we will go through the report. There will be room for questions and discussion.
Accessible applications are important. Not just because they have to be, but also because accessible applications are better. They help focus on the desires and needs of end-users. They shift the organization's mindset and enhance the understanding that end-users determine the success of an application.
For organizations that have no insight into the requirements of the WCAG yet but are interested in the topic, or for individuals who aim to develop better applications themselves, we offer a WCAG Checklist.
