Services – Walei’s A11y

 

Did you know that the World Health Organization estimates that 15 to 20% of the world’s population identifies as having a disability? Whether you are an individual who is self employed, a cultural institution or a large organization, there are a variety of ways for you to make your content or products accessible to people with disabilities and reach a wider audience!

 

Below are two plans for you to choose from. Each plan includes pricing, estimated hours of work, services provided as well as deliverables.

Basic Plan: Readily Achievable

Summary: Enhancing accessibility of e-mail communications, social media, electronic documentation, as well as basic website enhancements.

 

Pricing $500 to $3000

My rate is $100 per hour. For the basic plan, five to thirty hours are recommended. Which makes the price range between $500 and $3000. It includes the following services:

  • Testing emails, electronic documents, social media posts and websites to identify barriers (5 to 15 hours)

  • Suggesting solutions and creating an accessibility report (3 to 8 hours)

  • One or two Virtual meetings to support you in addressing accessibility barriers (2 to 4 hours)

  • Crafting an Accessibility Statement (2 to 4 hours)

 

Description:

This plan is for addressing the most readily achievable barriers. It will focus on:

  • Alt-text for images

  • Keyboard Access

  • Heading structures

  • Responsiveness and text resizing

  • Link text and plain language

 

These services will cover the following types of content:
