Website Accessibility Testing

Forge Mill Farm.

Crafting an accessible website for the Sandwell to align with WCAG 2.2 level AA standard.

Forge Mill Farm is operated by the Sandwell Council, targeting families, schools and colleges to gain knowledge about animals, food and the environment. We were entrusted to design, develop and maintain an accessible, visually appealing and user-friendly website to engage visitors and promote interactive activities at the farm. As a manual accessibility company in the UK, we understand accessibility from the ground up and make the journey to accessibility easier, faster and more successful. With our best efforts by the accessibility engineers and the whole team, the Forge Mill Farm website could comply with the WCAG 2.2 level AA standard.

Our Approach to the Accessibility Testing.

To make the website accessible, we put people of all abilities at the center of the process to implement solutions. We incorporate state-of-the-art practices using cutting-edge technologies to ensure accessibility across multiple platforms. With the help of our experienced web development team and test engineers, we identify accessibility issues and run accessibility testing regularly as part of the rapid development routine. We incorporate accessibility and usability tests to improve ease of use. Here is a breakdown of our accessibility testing process:

Scan the website: We use axe DevTools in the design and development process for rigorous accessibility testing.
Screen reader testing: Using NVDA, JAWS and VoiceOver, we conduct screen reader testing on the web content and offer a more accessible website experience for all visitors.
Assess keyboard accessibility: We use keyboard accessibility testing to navigate the page, including all menus and interactive elements without a mouse.
Test the color contrast: With the help of WebAIM evaluation tools, we make web content more accessible for individuals with disabilities.

Accessibility Results.

With engineers detecting accessibility flaws and designers crafting the website using effective font styles and colour contrast, we designed and developed the Forge Mill Farm website compliant with WCAG 2.2 level AA standards.
