A renewable energy consulting company specializing in residential and commercial solar solutions wanted to ensure its website provided an inclusive experience for all visitors. As prospective customers increasingly relied on the website to explore solar technologies, compare energy solutions, request consultations, and learn about sustainable energy options, digital accessibility became a key priority.
10 accessibility barriers that needed addressing.
Alternative text for solar system images, diagrams, and icons
Heading hierarchy and semantic page structure
Keyboard navigation across menus and interactive components
Form labels, instructions, and validation messages
Color contrast for text, buttons, and call-to-action elements
Visible keyboard focus indicators
Screen reader compatibility
Accessible navigation menus
Descriptive links and button labels
Accessible downloadable resources and documents
Structured engineering, not a one-time scan.
Comprehensive Accessibility Assessment
Zylyn conducted a comprehensive accessibility assessment using automated scanning and expert manual testing based on WCAG 2.2 guidelines. The assessment covered the home page, residential and commercial solar solution pages, educational resources and blog content, consultation request forms, contact page, navigation menus, interactive website components, and downloadable resources.
Prioritized Remediation Guidance
Every accessibility finding included a WCAG Success Criterion reference, severity classification, user and business impact, recommended remediation, and developer-friendly implementation guidance — enabling the team to prioritize improvements while minimizing disruption to ongoing website enhancements.
Accessibility Validation
After remediation was completed, Zylyn conducted validation testing to verify that accessibility improvements had been successfully implemented and that no new barriers had been introduced.
Three-tool audit methodology
- Google Lighthouse — structural and performance signals
- WAVE — visual contrast and form label detection
- axe-core scanner — precise WCAG criterion mapping
Violation tracker
Every issue mapped to its WCAG criterion, severity, and exact fix — turning accessibility barriers into a prioritised, manageable remediation backlog.
Verified results
An independent re-scan across multiple tools confirmed every remediation held. Each fix was verified against its WCAG criterion before being marked closed.
The numbers tell the story.
