Accessible Website Development

Our Accessible Website Development and Accessible Website Design Process

Accessibility is central to our process, and every phase of a project includes accessibility reviews and refinement to ensure your final website meets or exceeds your legal requirements for accessibility.

  • Step 1: Initial Consultation

    We gather key information on your business and define expectations for the project. This preliminary discussion helps us to understand the problem(s) you’re trying to solve, the resources at our disposal, and any limiting factors that may exist. Out of this discussion we’ll create a proposal for your approval.

  • Step 2: Discovery

    Once a proposal is accepted, the project officially begins with a discovery phase. The discovery phase allows us to gain a clearer understanding of business and customer goals, desired design aesthetic, and create a full scope of content needed. We’ll also establish the specific accessibility laws/guidelines which may apply to your organization. During this phase we’ll create user journey maps, navigation structure, a site map, and generate both a content request document and design brief.

  • Step 3: Content

    The content phase is when your team will supply us with all of the content (text, images, CSV files, PDFs, etc.) that will be needed for the website. If desired, we can help you to draft content and can supply stock images. Once all content is ready, we’ll perform a first accessibility review to make sure there are no accessibility problems in the content supplied.

  • Step 4: Design

    Following the content phase, we design the home and interior pages needed for the site for both Desktop and Mobile. Failing to thoroughly address accessibility in your design means a large demographic of users may be excluded from being able to use your product. Just specifying the right colors so that text has enough contrast can make all the difference in enabling them to use your product too. To meet these needs, there is a growing collection of accessibility-focused tools to help you tackle these challenges in your designs. All designs receive an accessibility review to ensure proper color contrast, proximity, etc. By focusing on accessibility early, we create clean, easy-to-navigate designs that draw in visitors and maximize user experience quality.

  • Step 5: Development

    Development begins after designs are approved, though our development team is heavily involved at every stage of your project. Regular check-ins with our developers throughout earlier phases ensures that we are able to execute your project on-time, on budget and within scope. During development, your team will get a break while we turn your designs into a working website.

  • Step 6: Audit & Testing

    Every website project includes a rigorous testing & debug phase, during which our team tests every feature, performs a visual check on every page, checks the website’s performance in all major browsers, and reviews project scope to ensure we’re delivering everything promised. These tests are performed by multiple people and any issues uncovered are compiled into a change list for our development team. We often involve our clients heavily in the testing phase — the more eyes, the better has always been our policy. During test and debug, we’ll also run a full accessibility audit on the completed site and remediate any discovered issues.

  • Step 7: User Testing & Remediation

    For clients who want to go the extra mile to ensure the accessibility and usability of their website, we include a user testing phase towards the end of our test and debug period. In this phase we’ll have users navigate the site with keyboards and screen readers to identify any additional items that need to be fixed. We will remediate all the required accessibility issues if anything left during the development phase.

  • Step 8: Launch & Training

    It’s time to launch your website! As your website is launched, our team runs through a final checklist that includes many items — everything from migrating staging to live site, setting up SSL encryption, optimize site to achieve good score in Google Lighthouse, to configuring Google Analytics conversion goals. This ensures that every website we deliver meets our rigorous internal standards and is delivered securely, in compliance with all current best practices. Following launch, we provide training in the use of your new website.
