Tell us why potential clients should chose EqualWeb When a company chooses an accessibility provider , it is important to check for experience . Do not hesitate to ask for the company ’ s portfolio of clients . You need to feel secure with the process and to have confidence with the company you choose .
A typical client onboarding process at EqualWeb begins with evaluating the customer ’ s website before proceeding with any remediation widgets . EqualWeb then issues a report to highlight the changes required to make the website / mobile app accessible . After ensuring that the site meets WCAG standards , EqualWeb issues an accessibility certificate to be placed at the site .
A good case study example is EqualWeb ’ s collaboration with Fiverr , the biggest online global trading platform . The client ’ s website was very complex , with hundreds of components changing every month . To facilitate a more seamless operation , Fiverr installed the EqualWeb remediation widget . EqualWeb technicians analyzed the site behind the scenes using their smart AI engine from the ground up , introducing accessibility rules that fit the code , content , and style . This automated process was not only designed to fix common issues , but also to ensure the highest levels of compliance . In Fiverr ’ s case , this automated process fixed 70 % of the accessibility issues in less than a day . Following this , EqualWeb accessibility experts initiated the manual process of auditing and remedying all Fiverr components and templates - and in a number of weeks , the site was 99 % accessible . Rather than hiring an expensive inhouse professional , Fiverr chose to go with EqualWeb , spending only a fraction of the amount they ’ d have spent otherwise .
