Accessibility services offered
Audit, Consulting and support, Accessible development, Inclusive design
Audit
The assessment relies on RGAA testing, screen reader testing and user journey verification. It concludes with delivery of an RGAA audit report and corrective action plans.
Consulting and support
Ethiko defines monitoring indicators from the project outset, provides the accessibility statement and test documentation. Technical oversight then continues through maintenance and periodic audits.
Accessible development
Development incorporates RGAA criteria through semantic markup, appropriate ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation and text alternatives. Technical optimisation also reduces page weight, DOM size and request volume.
Inclusive design
Graphic design calibrates contrast according to RGAA, uses readable and hierarchical typography and provides clear action buttons. Carousels, popups and animations are restricted to preserve keyboard use and assistive technology access.
