ASSESSMENT APPROACH

HardBody Coaching assessed the accessibility of Hardbody Coaching by the following approaches:

  • External evaluation – an accessibility testing of this website against the Web Accessibility Initiative Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WAI WCAG) 2.0 and 2.1 specifications. The findings were used to assist web developers in assessing the barriers that the website currently poses to people with a disability, its current level of conformance and the legal risk faced by the organization, as well as address and rectify those issues.

ABOUT THE WEB CONTENT ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES 2.0 AND 2.1

On 11 December 2008, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) released the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0) as a W3C recommendation.
These guidelines are an international standard that:

  • Define how to make web sites more accessible to people with a range disabilities.
  • Consists of 12 guidelines supplemented by 61 success criteria — testable standards that web sites should meet. These are arranged in three levels with level A (the lowest), being the most fundamental and essential.

The more success criteria a site meets, the more accessible it is likely to be. However, it is still possible that people with some types, degrees or combinations of disabilities might still have problems using the site.

WCAG 2.1 was introduced to address the dynamically growing use of mobile devices, providing 17 additional success criteria to address:

  • mobile accessibility
  • people with low vision
  • people with cognitive and learning disabilities
