Evergreen Health Accessibility Audit and Remedies

Audit & Remediation Workflow

I utilize a hybrid testing methodology to ensure comprehensive compliance.

1. Automated Tests

Axe DevTools & Deque University Scans: Used to identify high-level issues such as missing ARIA labels, color contrast failures, and broken heading hierarchies.

accessiBe Scans: Utilized as a secondary check to identify common UI patterns that fail accessibility benchmarks.

2. Manual Testing & Screen Reader Validation Because automated tools only catch a portion of accessibility issues, I performed manual testing:

Keyboard Navigation: Verified that every interactive element (links, buttons, forms) was accessible via Tab key, with visible focus indicators and logical tab order.

Screen reader testing:

• NVDA (Windows): Tested the experience for the most common Windows screen reader users.
• VoiceOver (Mac): Validated the site’s semantic structure and announcement clarity on macOS.

Constraints

• Maintaining the brand’s identity while ensuring it meets proper contrast levels: I adjusted the colors across the website to use the brand’s dark green instead of light green since it readily meets contrast levels.
• Limited access to manipulate code: Despite having limited access to manipulate the code, I was able to use CSS and Javascript to successfully implement the accessibility enhancements.

Professional Experience

While I do not hold a formal CPACC or WAS certification, my proficiency is grounded in real-world remediation across multiple high-stakes projects. I have previously collaborated with accessibility experts from Level Access to confirm compliance on past initiatives, bringing that same professional-grade rigor to the Evergreen Health audit.
