Testing
We provide high-quality remediation services for websites and apps.
Pivotal Accessibility provides comprehensive testing reports for granular insight into the accessibility status of the digital product. Our avant-garde audits help us examine the web content more closely to tend to your personalized needs while keeping accessibility in check. We perform a unification of manual and automation testing to offer a thorough assessment of your site and devise the ideal remediation strategy. Automated testing helps us figure out the surfacing issues while our sophisticated manual tests amplify precision by human hands. Our elaborate tests are aimed at promoting independence in end-user experience during complex tasks.
Our accessibility experts conduct complete testing of the product using a wide variety of checks to make it ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), Section 508, AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act), and WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) 2.0/2.1 compliant. With expertise in WCAG 2.0 and 2.1, our testers ensure that your products are tested against all the necessary success criteria. Our experts keep in mind a variety of user groups while performing testing to attain maximum coverage from an end-user perspective. This ensures that the product is accessible to user groups having visual impairments, hearing impairments, cognitive disabilities, motor impairments, and other types of disabilities. Some of the checks that we conduct are:
- Screen reader testing
- Keyboard-only testing
- Color contrast testing
- Browser zoom testing
- Automated tool testing
We deliver our test reports in various templates specially customized to meet your requirements and ensure easy analysis. We draft our reports in formats such as MS Word, MS Excel, JIRA Board, etc. Upon complete audits, we also provide VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) reports.
Apart from websites, web apps, and mobile apps, we also perform document testing for formats such as PDF, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint to ensure that the documents are accessible.
We also offer Web Accessibility Training services with a curriculum specifically designed as per your organizational requirements. We not only embrace the ethical framework for your digital properties but also upscale your audience reach, and SEO ranking, provide legal compliance, and create a surpassing web experience.
Recommendation
We recommend audit reports for the development and fix issues.
An integral part of the web accessibility implementation is to provide accurate recommendations for the bugs identified during the testing phase. Our development team experts perform an in-depth inspection of the issues at the code level and provide recommendations to be implemented to make the product free of accessibility issues and reinforce a positive brand image and broaden the market’s reach. Our team ingrains accessibility practices in your SDLC(Software Development Life Cycle) and our manual testing approach unmasks the WCAG 2.1 checkpoints that solely automated tools can’t. Our logical and meticulous recommendations help to keep legal hassles at bay and transform your digital product into a truly inclusive product; a sheer pleasure for users worldwide.
With expertise in HTML, CSS, JQuery, and JavaScript, our experts provide precise and robust recommendations for websites and apps built on a wide variety of platforms. Our experts also provide trusted and verified resources from the accessibility community for a deeper insight into the advisory techniques and offer best practices. This ensures effective remediation and implementation of the recommendations. Our holistic and passionate approach towards enabling accessibility makes it easier to understand and adapt during any stage of your product development, though we recommend it from the inception stage to avoid incremental costs.

Document Accessibility
We provide highly efficient Document accessibility services.
Document accessibility is as important as web accessibility since offline assets can be equally important and informative to users.
We provide highly efficient Document Accessibility Services ensuring that your documents are accessible by visually impaired users as well as other disabled users using various Assistive Technologies. We specialize in testing as well as remediation of PDF, Word, Excel & PPT files.
Enabling Document Accessibility allows Assistive Technologies to deliver content with a remarkable reading experience. Any document format should be compatible with screen readers and braille devices as the prime purpose is to render a similar experience to a sighted and unsighted reader.
We not only use Adobe Professional’s PDF Accessibility Checker but also perform exhaustive manual checks to certify compliance with the accessibility guidelines. Our intrinsic tagging validates a logical structure to the document that enables assistive tools (like screen readers and refreshable braille displays) to interpret it correctly and hierarchically, in addition to smoother reflow on devices with smaller screens like smartphones and tablets.
An accessible word document is delivered by following the standard accessibility practices like not missing alt texts and link texts, using table headers, page numbering, built-in headings and styles, and accessible font colors to name a few.
Keeping up with the proper color contrast balance while uniquely naming cells and ranges; the accessibility protocols implemented right from Cell A1 ensures complex spreadsheet data such as tables, formulae, etc. are accessible.
Accessible slides offer descriptive visuals, and captioned & subtitled audio tracks in videos. Adding ScreenTips at hovers, and checking the font sizing and color are some of the good accessibility practices for PowerPoint presentations.
Using the right tags at each Pivotal checkpoint, and embracing the use of plain language, semantic page structure, pleasant color contrast, enveloping alt text, link text, and long descriptions along with additional checks, our structured approach from testing to remediation ensures delivery of highly accessible popular document formats such as PDF/UA, Word, Excel & PPT.
