Accessibility: Frequently asked questions

Accessibility ensures that your digital content – including websites, documents, software and multimedia – is fully usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. Beyond compliance with laws (like EAA, ADA, ACA, AODA), accessibility enhances user experience, demonstrates social responsibility, expands your customer base and positively impacts brand perception.
Key accessibility standards include the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), European Accessibility Act (EAA) and local equivalents. Compliance helps avoid legal risks, promotes inclusivity and ensures your digital content reaches the widest possible audience. RWS helps you meet all relevant standards effectively.
Accessible content significantly improves user experience by making information easier to navigate, understand and interact with. Accessibility features like clear navigation, screen reader compatibility, captions and audio descriptions not only support users with disabilities but also improve usability for all visitors, resulting in higher engagement, customer loyalty and broader market reach.
Common barriers include images without alternative text, poor colour contrast, inaccessible navigation, missing captions on videos, documents not compatible with screen readers and complicated forms. Removing these barriers through accessibility ensures your digital content can be used effectively by everyone, enhancing your reach, reputation and regulatory compliance.
Automated accessibility testing quickly identifies common technical issues (like missing alt text or colour contrast). Manual accessibility testing, conducted by human specialists, evaluates more complex aspects such as navigation logic, screen reader usability and overall user experience. RWS combines both methods for thorough accessibility testing and reliable results.
RWS offers comprehensive accessibility services including compliance assessments, remediation of websites, software, documents (PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint), captions, subtitles, audio descriptions for multimedia content and ongoing accessibility monitoring. Our experts ensure your content meets global standards and is accessible, inclusive and engaging for all users.
Yes, RWS offers multilingual accessibility services, adapting content linguistically, culturally and technically for global audiences. Our global network of accessibility experts ensures your multilingual digital content – including websites, documents and multimedia – is accessible, inclusive, compliant with international guidelines and culturally relevant across diverse markets.

We'll discuss your specific needs, recommend tailored solutions, provide transparent proposals and clearly guide you through every step of the accessibility process, ensuring efficient, compliant and effective implementation of accessibility features tailored to your digital content and business goals.
