Digital accessibility

No. A widget can make a site easier to use and let visitors adapt selected parts of the interface to their needs, but it does not replace implementing accessibility properly in the code and the content.

WCAG compliance requires checking the site against the accessibility criteria, both automatically and by hand.

No. Automated tools quickly find many repeatable problems: missing labels, an incorrect heading structure, contrast issues. They cannot judge everything that needs a human, though - logical keyboard operation, whether messages make sense, the order of interactions, or how the site behaves with a screen reader. A full assessment should therefore combine automated analysis with an expert audit.

A manual audit covers the parts of a site that cannot be judged reliably by a tool.

The auditor looks at keyboard operation, forms, navigation, error messages, interactions and how the key elements behave with assistive technology. That gives you not just a list of technical errors but, above all, information about the real barriers users may run into.

Yes. We can review an existing service, point out the problems and prepare a plan for removing them, with priorities. We can also implement the fixes ourselves or work alongside your development team, handing over concrete technical recommendations. That way an audit does not end at a report but can lead directly to a more accessible service.

No. Legal requirements are one of the reasons companies take accessibility on, but not the only one.

An accessible service is easier to use for more people, it improves the quality of the experience, it can reduce problems in buying processes and forms, and it has a positive effect on the overall quality of the digital product.

WCAG compliance is worth treating not only as an obligation but also as part of the quality of the service.

Yes. DockAccess can be deployed on a new or an existing website, shop or web application.

The tool works with the popular content management systems, with modern front-end frameworks and through Google Tag Manager. Deploying it does not require rebuilding the whole service.

DockAccess offers a free browser tool for automated accessibility analysis, which you can use without plan-related limits.

The platform also provides free features such as the accessibility widget and automated audits, though the free plan has usage limits. Larger services can use paid plans with higher limits.

The time depends mainly on the number and complexity of the key pages that need to be analysed.

A simple page usually takes an auditor about one to two hours; a more complex one, with larger forms or interactions, may take three to four. For a simple site covering about five key pages we can usually deliver the audit with the report and recommendations within about a week. For larger shops or services covering several dozen key pages the process may take a month or longer.

Before we start we agree the scope of the audit and present an estimated schedule.

Yes. The report does more than state that an element fails WCAG.

For every significant problem we describe what the barrier is, which area of accessibility it concerns, how it may affect users and how to fix it.

Where possible we also point to a specific technical solution, so the report can serve directly as material for the design or development team.

The best way is a short call.

We will get to know your business, your current challenges and your goals, and then judge whether we can help. If we decide another route suits you better, we will say so plainly.

Our aim is a long-term relationship built on trust and concrete results, not a sale at any cost.
