Digital accessibility
Digital accessibility is a mandatory requirement for websites to ensure equal access to information and services for all citizens of the EU and the US by 2025. Gremcy offers a wide range of services related to accessibility, including testing, providing recommendations, development according to VPAT requirements, and more.

01 Testing
To achieve the broadest coverage from an end-user perspective, our specialists conduct testing in accordance with the U.S. Revised Section 508, European EN 301 549, and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, considering a wide range of user groups.
-
02 List of recommendations
Based on the analysis of your product, we provide a list of actions to ensure your product fully complies with global digital accessibility standards. We also assist you in applying for VPAT certification.
-
01 Navigation and content search
We create a sitemap to ensure users can access any page in more than one way or add a list of links to all site pages from the homepage. We also recommend adding a search function to help users find the content they need.
-
03 Autoplay elements
We provide alternatives for content that auto-plays (like audio), moves, blinks, or scrolls. Additionally, we offer users the option to customize or disable autoplay and content updates.
-
05 Error identification
If a data entry error is detected automatically, the system clearly marks the element with the error and provides the user with a text description of the issue along with suggestions for correction. A pop-up warning window is also included to support users who rely on screen readers.
-
02 Page markup
All user interface components are given a name, role, and value. This includes ensuring proper display of headings, avoiding repetitive blocks, using descriptive link names, and more.
-
04 Data entry
We ensure that all necessary labels and instructions are provided to help users correctly fill out personal data fields in forms. Users can review, confirm, or correct their data before submission.
-
06 Adjustable time settings
We integrate features allowing users to adjust or disable time limits for activities such as taking tests or surveys. This can be particularly beneficial for users with physical, cognitive, or visual impairments, enhancing the system's accessibility and usability.
-
01 Black-and-white and white-and-black design
A high contrast level makes text easier to read and helps prevent visual overload. The lack of color distractions makes black-and-white design simpler to perceive, aiding users with cognitive or visual impairments to focus on text and core content.
-
03 Contrast settings
A high contrast ratio, as recommended by WCAG, should be at least 4.5:1 between text and background. This significantly improves readability for individuals with vision impairments, such as color blindness or reduced visual acuity.
-
02 Text size
Providing the ability to change font size is one of the WCAG recommendations. Allowing users to adjust font size enables them to customize the website to their individual needs. This is particularly important for people with temporary or permanent visual impairments that affect their ability to read small text.
-
01 Keyboard navigation
We ensure that all site functionalities are accessible via a keyboard interface. To enhance interaction and navigation, we also recommend adding a dedicated control menu for keyboard users.
-
02 On-screen keyboard
We design or adapt the website interface for compatibility with an on-screen keyboard, allowing users to input data or navigate the site effectively.
-
01 Screen Reader Adaptation (Transcription)
We add names, roles, states, and values to all user interface components, along with notifications of any changes to these elements for user agents.
-
03 Media File Transcription
For all non-text content, we add text alternatives with equivalent descriptions of images and other media files. If media files serve only a decorative purpose, they do not require descriptions.
-
02 Pre-recorded Audio
We provide the option to download audio files for the narration of each site element. This makes content more accessible to users who prefer auditory perception or have difficulties reading text.
-
04 Sign Language for Media Files
We integrate parallel sign language translation to ensure comfortable media content consumption for users with hearing impairments.
-
