Accessibility Testing

Sonet Web provides website accessibility testing and audit reports comprising website accessibility and usability checkpoints and recommendations.

The evaluation starts with a website audit that tests every page, every programatic element, every image, all links and text in your website for the basic minimum WCAG 1.0 Level-A compliance all the way through to Level Triple-A compliance.

The website accessibility audit uses the principles as set out by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) guidelines for accessibility. We check the site for WCAG 1.0 Level-A (accessibility options which must be implemented) and advise whether levels Double-A ( should be implemented) and Triple-A ( may be implemented) .

We ensure that sites pass validation by 'Cynthia Says', 'Bobby' and the W3C.

When performing a website evaluation Sonet Web also checks for website maintenance issues such as coding issues, content and graphics against current standards and that your website can be viewed in the most popular browsers such as Internet Explorer, Opera, Netscape and Mozilla.

SONET offers two types of evaluation:

Website Accessibility Testing:

  • A thorough analysis of your website for the purpose of accessibility and usability including a recommendation for 'best way forward' in order to achieve compliance to accessibility guidelines
  • We charge at cost for the accessibility tests which you get back if you engage us to implement our recommendations
