Test Web Accessibility
Identifying and removing digital barriers
Barriers on websites and in apps often only become visible when digital products are systematically tested for accessibility. Additionally, usability testing with people with disabilities is helpful—it reveals where practical issues arise and how the user experience can be improved.
Why Do We Test Digital Accessibility?
Over one billion people worldwide live with a disability. Testing for web accessibility ensures that everyone has equal access to websites, apps, and other digital products — regardless of individual abilities or situational limitations.
Specialized tools and usability tests with people with disabilities help identify and systematically remove accessibility barriers. This results in a better experience for everyone. Here, you will find an overview of all our services in the field of Web Accessibility.
How Do We Test for Web Accessibility?
To make your digital product accessible to everyone, we start by analyzing it for fundamental barriers according to WCAG 2.1. With the help of specialized tools and expert reviews, we identify obstacles early on and provide concrete solutions. This lays the groundwork for subsequent usability testing with people with disabilities.
True accessibility only becomes visible in real-world use. That is why we recommend usability tests with people with disabilities. They test your product under real-world conditions — using their own devices and assistive technologies. To cover a broad spectrum of potential barriers, we include people with various types of disabilities. You are, of course, welcome to observe the sessions live.
To enable you to eliminate barriers in a targeted and effective way, we provide clear recommendations – documented in a usability report and explored further in a joint results workshop. If needed, our UX design team will support you in addressing design-related challenges and developing suitable solutions for your website or application.

What Questions Might Arise When It Comes to Web Accessibility?
Accessibility-designed websites enable easier use for everyone and also offer additional benefits:
-
Is your website accessible to people who only use a keyboard (without a mouse)?
-
Can forms on your website be completed by users without vision?
-
Does your website contain visual elements that could trigger seizures in people with epilepsy?
-
Are contents available in plain language and sign language?
-
Does your website’s HTML-syntax support the use of a screen reader?
-
Are the contrasts chosen in a way that makes them perceivable for users with visual impairments?
