Accessibility Built In, From Audit to Source Code Fixes
We are FX Garage: not just auditors, but dedicated accessibility engineers. We specialize in fixing issues at the source code level, with a proven ability to retrofit even the oldest, most non-compliant systems.
Why Accessibility Matters
- • Equal access for all users, including those with disabilities (vision, hearing, motor, cognitive).
- • Better usability for everyone, accessible design improves clarity and UX.
- • SEO and broader reach, accessible sites often perform better in search engines.
- • Compliance with legal and regulatory requirements (WCAG 2.1/2.2, ADA, EN 301 549).
Common Accessibility Problems
Missing Alt Text
Images without meaningful alt attributes or with missing descriptions.
Alt text (alternative text) provides a written description of non-text content like images, icons, and charts. It ensures that users who can’t see visuals, such as people using screen readers, can still understand their meaning. It also helps when images fail to load, improves SEO, and is required for accessibility compliance under WCAG and ADA standards. Accessibility lawsuits increesed since 2020. Missing alt text is the #2 violation.
Low Contrast Text
Text colors too close to background, hard to read for users with low vision.
Low contrast means users can’t read or recognize content clearly. It’s the most common accessibility violation found online (79% of websites fail WCAG contrast standards), and fixing it improves readability, usability, and legal compliance for everyone.
Keyboard Inaccessibility
Elements not reachable or usable with keyboard alone.
Keyboard inaccessibility happens when users can’t fully navigate or use a website with only a keyboard. Many people with motor disabilities, vision impairments, or temporary injuries rely on keyboard navigation instead of a mouse. When interactive elements like menus, buttons, or forms can’t be reached with the Tab, Enter, or Arrow keys, those users get stuck. Proper keyboard accessibility means all content and controls are reachable, focusable, and usable through the keyboard alone, ensuring equal access for everyone.
ARIA & Labels Issues
Form fields without labels or incorrect ARIA usage.
ARIA and label issues occur when form fields, buttons, or interactive elements lack proper labels or use incorrect ARIA attributes. This prevents screen readers from announcing what the element does, confusing users who rely on assistive technology. Correct labeling and ARIA usage ensure every control is clearly described and usable by everyone.
