Why start taking action now?

Legal risks are becoming apparent globally, and in Japan too, there are an increasing number of situations where legal reforms are required to address them.
However, looking at it from another perspective, now is the time to gain an advantage as a first mover, as there are still few companies adopting this technology.

The earlier you are, the greater the benefits you will gain.

Delay response

Web accessibility is not just a compliance measure.
Taking action early can help you fulfill your social responsibility, expand business opportunities, and prevent future cost increases.
It can be said that this is no longer something to be done "if we have the time," but has become a management issue that "must be started early."

Frequently asked questions

Q

How much does it cost?

It depends on the plan. The "Light Plan," which provides a simple problem identification, starts at 50,000 yen, while the "Standard Plan," which provides a detailed diagnosis and issues an inspection certificate, starts at 200,000 yen. We can also provide implementation support after the diagnosis, as well as consistent support from new design creation. Prices vary depending on the size and complexity of the site and any additional requirements, so we will first provide you with a quote during a free consultation.
Q

What is the difference between "WCAG" and "JIS X 8341-3:2016"?

WCAG is a global accessibility standard established by the W3C. JIS X 8341-3:2016 is the Japanese version of WCAG 2.0, which was recommended in 2008, and its content is now outdated. On the other hand, the newer WCAG 2.1/2.2 are optimized for the modern web environment, taking into consideration smartphone operation, low vision, and cognitive characteristics.
Q

Which standard should we adopt: "WCAG" or "JIS X 8341-3:2016"?

Unless JIS compliance is mandatory for public institution bidding requirements, etc., we recommend "WCAG 2.1/2.2." Diagnosing your site against the latest standards not only prepares you for future JIS revisions, but also ensures improved usability on mobile devices.
Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications'Everyone's Public Site Operation Guidelines (2024 Edition) (PDF / 4.2MB)" also clearly states that "with an eye toward JIS revisions in the near future, we will build based as much as possible on the WCAG2.2 success criteria," and compliance with the latest standards is becoming a standard policy within Japan.
Q

How do you select pages to audit?

Selections are based on the international validation method "WCAG-EM." We combine the main templates (structured samples) that make up the site with random sampling to prevent oversights. Rather than simply increasing the number of pages, experts carefully select "10 to 20 meaningful pages," allowing for an efficient and accurate diagnosis.
Q

Is 10-20 diagnostic pages enough?

This is sufficient if your goal is to "improve the quality of the entire website." JIS testing, which is required for government bidding and other such activities, typically involves inspecting more than 40 pages, as its main purpose is to "prove compliance (create evidence)." However, the WCAG-EM method we use is a specialized method for "quality control" that identifies trends across the entire website and efficiently improves quality. This allows you to accurately identify issues across the entire website while keeping costs down.
Q

How long does it take to get a diagnosis?

For a standard corporate website (a sampling assessment of approximately 10-20 pages), it takes approximately 10-15 business days from the start of the assessment to the submission of the initial report. This varies depending on the complexity and volume of the site, so please contact us in advance if you are in a hurry.
Q

What is a "VPAT/ACR"?

VPAT refers to an accessibility assessment template, and ACR refers to the actual report created using that template. It is a global standard format developed from US government procurement standards, and is used as an "information disclosure document" to provide detailed explanations of the compliance status of a company's products in B2B transactions. It is characterized by its emphasis on "transparency," including where restrictions exist and how they are addressed.
Q

Is there any benefit to creating a VPAT/ACR for a website aimed at the Japanese market?

Yes, honest information disclosure leads to "increased credibility." Having documents that detail the response status, but a simply a pass/fail judgment, is proof of your company's honest attitude. It is also an extremely effective tool for providing supporting evidence to clients considering adopting your company's services, and for disclosing information for IR and ESG investment.
Q

How do I fix the issues that the diagnostic finds?

We will present specific improvement proposals at the source code level. What's more, with our premium plan, our engineers can also handle the coding directly on your behalf. Our greatest strength is our "implementation ability" to solve accessibility issues while maintaining your existing design and brand image.
