4. Testing Environments & Methodology
To ensure a realistic assessment of our website's accessibility, we utilize a combination of manual expert audits and automated testing tools.
We also test screen readers and visual adjustments (such as high contrast modes, screen magnification, and text spacing adjustments) across several browsers,
including the latest versions of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Safari.
5. Maintenance and Continuous
ImprovementAccessibility is an ongoing process, not a one-time task. We maintain accessibility through:
● Regular Audits: Full manual and automated audits conducted at least annually.
● Team Training: Our developers and content creators receive regular training on ARIA techniques, color contrast, and descriptive writing.
● Automated Monitoring: Integration of accessibility checks (like Lighthouse and AXE) into our development workflow to catch issues early.
6. Feedback and Contact Information
We welcome your feedback on how to improve our website's accessibility.
If you encounter any barriers or have suggestions, please contact us:
● Email: communication.department@trevigroup.com
