Sanco Industries,INC

Prelude

Sanco Industries is a specialty chemical manufacturer best known for pond and lake products. They requested an ADA compliance audit to ensure their website could be used by people with disabilities and the assistive technology they use to navigate the web. Foremost Media had recently completed an audit for another client and knew exactly what to look for.

Audit Uncovers Compliance Issues

We conducted a thorough ADA compliance edit and uncovered multiple issues across Sanco Industries’ website. Low contrast errors, which make it difficult for people with poor vision to read text and see images, were the most common issue. The site also lacked focus styles on menu items, making it difficult for keyboard navigation, and no page regions to help users easily jump to the pages they need. Other errors included very small text, broken or suspicious links, missing or orphaned form labels, and redundant text.

Updated Theme Addresses Issues

Once all compliance issues were identified, the Foremost Media development team made improvements. We added focus styles to links for enhanced keyboard navigation, added a smooth scroll feature, fixed the low contrast pages, added missing links, and created larger text. Visually the site looks the same, but updated the theme to address many of these issues.

Results

A formal report detailing compliance issues was sent to Sanco Industries. , who will make a decision on addressing the issues. They approved the work needed and now have a new, user-friendly site that looks no different than their previous one but is considerably more accessible.
