Web Accessibility

At Hook 42 we value inclusivity in all aspects of our business. From the people we hire to the products we build, creating a space that is accessible to everyone is important to us.

Web accessibility, or a11y for short, is becoming a bigger and bigger priority for many organizations. And that's where we come in. With a team of experts working by your side, we can be your on-call a11y specialists, helping you achieve your digital accessibility goals.

Accessibility at Hook 42

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to web accessibility. We carefully review and analyze each area of your website to set you up for success. Since there are a number of ways to be compliant, we've got you covered from beginning to end. No matter what stage of a project you're in, we can help you create a path forward.

Hook 42 provides the following accessibility services:

  • Automated Site Scans
  • Manual Site Scans
  • Accessible Content Strategy
  • Accessible Design
  • Accessible Development
  • Accessible Planning & Remediation
  • Accessibility Training

From start to finish, we implement accessible best practices throughout our projects. This means in content strategy phases, design phases and development phases, we're looking for ways to improve accessibility. Each project is carefully tested and spot-checked throughout the course of the build to ensure accessible implementation.

Beyond Building Accessible Websites

If you plan from the start to build an accessible product, web accessibility becomes much more manageable. However, not always is there a case for starting fresh. Hook 42 also tackles web accessibility by itself. We have consulted with numerous clients to help develop an accessibility plan and remediation schedule, working as an extension of your team. 

Hook 42 can work with you in the following ways to improve the accessibility of your existing website:

  • Perform Site Audits
  • Perform Accessibility Testing
  • Create a Remediation Plan and Schedule
  • Train Your Team for Accessibility Best Practices

We're proud to be advocates for progress within web accessibility and are continuously providing our clients with a better understanding of how to do the same.
