A prominent name in the e-learning and knowledge management industry, Acadecraft is on a noble mission to help and assist both website owners and Ontarians with disabilities. The company offers well-rounded AODA testing services that evaluate each website against the standards set by the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.

This is a well-thought and well-researched initiative to support the inclusive mission of making the online space accessible for all. In a time when education and businesses are shifting online, accurate accessibility standards are required to ensure people with disabilities can also engage with these resources. It helps promote equal opportunities for all.

“Canadian companies and independent website owners are required to have their website AODA compliant. With our AODA compliance testing solutions, website owners can understand the current status of their websites and which areas need remediation. This way, they can make their websites fully compliant and avoid the hassle of legal discrepancies”, says the CEO of Acadecraft, Harendar Tomar.

Each AODA website compliance test conducted by Acadecraft is undertaken by skilled professionals who are thoroughly aware of all compliance regulations and requirements. With their knowledge and modern technologies, they ensure that the results are accurate, implementable, and lead the way for positive change.
The different AODA testing services offered by Acadecraft include manual, automated, code review, user testing, and functional and assistive technologies. While the automated testing checks the features like alt texts and color contrasts, the manual testing tests the barriers in terms of manual use, like keyboard handling. The functional testing evaluates all the interactive functions on the website like menus and buttons. The code reviews as the name suggests, inspects the website code for any issues.

“Through user testing, we aim to understand how easy it is for a regular disabled individual to engage with a website. It serves as a live demonstration and helps us understand the areas that need further improvement. This is important since a complete neutral assessment from a person with the actual issues we want to solve gives a clear perspective of where we stand ”, says the Director of Operations, Jumi Dutta.

Acadecraft’s assistive technology testing is another major part that checks the compatibility of a website with key assistive technologies like voice recognition and screen readers. Advanced technology like eye tracking software is also used to cover the visual aspect. It can be said that Acadecraft’s AODA testing solutions are truly a promising way for businesses and independent website owners to maintain compliance with AODA and achieve better engagement.
