Website Accessibility Audit

Project details

What we need
  • A list of the common issues along with the prioritization of both severity and impact of the accessibility issues found
  • List of areas that do not meet the Section 508, ADA, WCAG 2.0 guidelines
  • Specific recommendations to improve product accessibility their priority level (low, medium, and high priority)
  • Estimated time needed to fix current compliance issues
Additional details

We would love to understand how we can improve our website to make it more inclusive and user-friendly for people with additional needs and how we can go about making this happen!

What we have in place
  • We currently have ideas and examples of what we would like, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have our website ready to go, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,212 , allowing us to put this money to disseminating designed solutions to give book stands to a local special school!

As we create and build assistive technologies for people with disability, it is really important for us to have an inclusive and accessible website that is user-friendly for all! We would like our community to be able to connect and use our website with ease so this is a massive priority for us!

Our mission

TOM's vision is a world in which technology and innovation allow every person acccess to affordable solutions to their needs. Our moonshot mission is to help 250,000,000 people by inspiring and supporting a global network of communities dedicated to this vision.

What we do

We work with people with a disability who have a specific need, "Need-Knowers", and connect them with a diverse group of professionals, including engineers, industrial designers, health professionals and tradespeople, "Makers".

Together, they design and build products that solve a complex problem and improve the everyday life of the Need-Knower. Recent prototypes include robotic arms, powered crutches, wheelchair wheel cleaners and bespoke exercise machines. The intellectual property for every product is then shared through open-source Digital Product Files, so others can replicate or iterate it in their own communities around the world.

It was a pleasure to work with the TOM:Melbourne to enhance the website's accessibility. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.
