How can we measure the success of our work beyond compliance on paper? How can we measure actual user impact for people with disabilities?
Question
Answer
Once you have conducted a thorough manual audit and remediated every violation, you should round out your project with assistive technology user testing. Just because the code is compliant, it doesn’t mean that it’ll be usable with assistive technology. Have users with disabilities navigate your site using their assistive technology to verify they have a good and accessible user experience. Doing so can uncover some best practices or usability-related issues that will ensure your site provides the best experience for all once remediated.
