Level Access

What is the Acceleration Package?

• This is the one-off approach to accessibility that may achieve temporary progress, but leaves you susceptible to future risk.

• Any success from ad hoc projects is quickly undone and teams must start over with new investments each time causing more hassle and time spent overall.

• The Acceleration Package provides audits in an agile model for a more collaborative and constructive experience.

• Refined over decades of experience, this model includes ongoing support for helping you fix issues and monitoring software to set you up for lasting success.

• The Acceleration Package supports a more structured, ongoing approach that prevents legal risk from reappearing over time.

• This model saves your team valuable time and delivers greater efficiency.

What is included in the

Acceleration Package?

1. Full digital accessibility audits with manual, functional, and automated testing delivered in a digital report each year

2. Included regression testing (a ‘re-audit’) in the first year to confirm that issues discovered in the initial audit were fixed correctly

3. Web monitoring software to spot new issues that commonly reappear over time and to measure total progress

4.On-demand consulting and guidance from our specialists for solving issues or other challenges

Comprehensive Testing

Intelligent Reporting

The Acceleration Package is a multiyear roadmap for compliance that includes annual audits of your digital property, actionable reporting and monitoring, and on-demand expert support.

Ongoing Support

Stage 1: Comprehensive Testing

The First Audit

Second and Third Audits

• Digital properties are rarely static, so it’s critical that they are regularly evaluated for accessibility to account for any new content or changes to the user experience

• We will conduct additional audits in years two and three to account for any updates, new content, or releases, redesigns, or other changes

• This is critical to maintaining accessibility compliance over time

Insightful Analysis and Useful Results

• The agile approach ensures you have a prioritized report of the

latest discovered issues after each testing sprint

• At the conclusion of every testing sprint, Level Access will discuss the findings with your team and use the latest results and analysis to plan the next round of testing

Testing Sprints

• Test results are delivered in sortable and filtered views

• In this case, we have a list of violation types grouped according their corresponding best practice with their number of instances and Severity rating

• Level Access audits follow an agile model by dividing the audit’s testing into separate sprints with results and analysis delivered to your team after each one

• Level Access works with you to determine what pages or

content should be evaluated and in what order

• The agile model allows the flexibility to adjust priorities for

subsequent testing based on the latest results

Always-On, High-Level Monitoring

Data Driven Auditing

• In the beginning, we will deploy Access Analytics to get an early read on the web property and identify the areas with the most traffic and easily-detectable issues

• This information is important for project planning and will inform the actual audit

• Access Analytics allows a more objective approach to auditing that focuses on areas with higher traffic, known issues, and greater risk

• Access Analytics will continue to monitor over time and measure progress or other changes

• Detect common but noticeable issues which often arise between audits or other related work

• Quickly zero in on problem areas

• Analyze important patterns or trends to communicate to leadership or other internal stakeholders

After each audit, your team works off a highly configurable and customizable report that’s designed to help you understand and fix issues as efficiently as possible

Stage 2: Intelligent Reporting

Unlike other audit report methods, which feature largely static, dumps of issues or just CSV files

Our audit reports are designed to help your team understand the results so they can build knowledge and become better informed about their own work

• Accessibility testing is only helpful if you are able to do something with the results

• The Acceleration Package allows Level Access to partner with you behind simply finding problems, so you get a remediation plan and guidance through fixing issues

• The close partnership helps your team build their knowledge and become better informed about their work
