UserMetrics can help your organisation steer a path through the accessibility maze.
Most sites can be reviewed in two days (at a cost of £1,390 + VAT). We will always check the scope and complexity of your site and confirm the fixed price for the audit before starting work. Additional days, where required, are charged £795 + VAT per day.
The deliverable is a high-resolution PDF file containing a professional review of the accessibility of your site.
Turn-around for accessibility consultancy projects is normally very quick; often within two to three days.
Accessibility is not a fad; it's here to stay and will need to be factored into all of your organisation's future Web projects. For this reason, it may be more economical for your organisation to train its site developer and designers.
UserMetrics offers a half-day on-site accessibility training course for groups of up to 5 staff for £895 + VAT.
