Accessibility Testing

An accessible website can be used by anybody, regardless the tool they use for browsing, their knowledge on informatics or if they have any disability or not. The international organization W3C has standardized the criteria applicable to website accessibility. Based on these criteria we carry out Accessibility Analysis on websites, programs and other user interfaces. The W3C Hungarian Office issues Accessibility Certificates if the accessibility standard requirements are fulfilled.

Analysing and testing websites

An ergonomic and functional analysis helps to have an easier-to-handle, clear and ergonomic surface, and it also reveals programming and security failures. The usability testing, monitoring the users’ behaviour can reveal several options for correction and simplification, or can show usability failures and deficiency, which might not be recognised by the website creators, or by users outside the target group. With the help of the focus group analysis direct feedback from the target group users could be received about the usability of the website, the mockup, and the service, and about the target group’s expectations. Through this analysis it could be revealed what they miss from the interface, or where they would need more detailed, or alternatively-stated information.

International usability testing

Many Hungarian user interfaces have been created as the translation of an originally foreign languageinterfaces. In such cases failures might appear as the result of the translation, the unique features of the source language, and the different logic of those using the source language. With the help of the international usability testing translation mistakes, translations used incorrectly in the given context and mistakes or misunderstanding coming from the cultural differences between the two languages could be eliminated.

Training, advisory, consultation

The Office provides trainings, advisory and consultations in issues related to the accessibility, ergonomic and usability questions of websites, and in W3C-related technologies.
