The Growing Importance of Web Accessibility Compliance

The internet has become an indispensable part of our lives, yet not everyone can use websites equally. People with visual or hearing disabilities, those with limited hand or finger mobility, and individuals experiencing age-related physical changes face real challenges — many websites are difficult or impossible for them to use.
Technical solutions are also evolving. In Japan, the revised "Act on Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities" (effective 2021) has strengthened the obligation for corporations and municipalities to ensure web accessibility, making accessibility compliance increasingly critical in web design and development.

We are IAAP(International Association of Accessibility Professionals)member and holds advanced professional credentials, including
"WAS (Web Accessibility Specialist)" certification.
We deliver high-quality web accessibility services backed by proven knowledge and expertise grounded in international standards.

Web Accessibility Diagnostic Services

At Liberogic, diagnosis and review are conducted by IAAP-certified
WAS (Web Accessibility Specialist) credential holders. WCAG2.0 (JIS X 8341-3:2016) through WCAG 2.2 conformance levels A through AAA — we use a proprietary checklist to examine each success criterion in detail. Beyond automated checks, our analysis considers real-world usability, uncovering issues that are easy to miss.
We diagnose your current website and, during production, have specialists review each stage — structure, content, design, markup — to build a site optimized for accessibility.
When needed, we link test results to your accessibility policy for detailed verification.

Benefits of Web Accessibility Compliance

Web accessibility compliance creates usable websites for everyone, mitigates legal risks, and strengthens corporate reputation.

Enhanced user experience through universally accessible design

Implementing web accessibility improves usability not just for users with specific disabilities, but for all users. For example, improved contrast and text size adjustments benefit not only older adults with declining vision, but also the many users browsing your site on smartphones. Moreover, by providing thoughtful labeling and clear information hierarchy for users who rely on screen readers, you enhance usability across your entire site and deliver a comfortable experience to a wider audience.

Regulatory compliance

Web accessibility compliance is essential for meeting legal requirements. In Japan, as of April 2024, the "Act on Elimination of Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities" has mandated that companies and public institutions provide reasonable accommodations. The Digital Agency also promotes accessibility standards for public websites, which is expected to influence private businesses as well. International standards such as the U.S. "ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)" and Europe's "WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines)" also exist, and compliance with these standards is increasingly required.

Enhanced trust and brand image

Operating a website that considers all people strengthens your organization's credibility and brand image. Today, alongside product and service quality, there is growing interest in how companies and municipalities fulfill their social responsibilities. Web accessibility compliance demonstrates a commitment to active social contribution by providing usable websites for diverse user groups, including people with disabilities and seniors. This effort powerfully conveys your organization's social values, builds trust in your brand, and is expected to generate greater support.

Synergistic SEO benefits from web accessibility compliance

Implementing web accessibility initiatives creates a synergistic boost to your website's SEO (search engine optimization) performance. Search engine algorithms evaluate properly marked-up content, alternative text for visually impaired users, and clear logical structure. Through web accessibility compliance, pages become more easily readable by search engines, leading to improved rankings and enhanced user experience. Additionally, mobile-friendly design and optimized page load speed, as part of web accessibility compliance, contribute to SEO benefits.
As a result, you can reach more users, leading to increased traffic and improved conversion rates.

Liberogic's web accessibility services

Liberogic follows the latest accessibility guidelines provided by the Digital Agency and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, delivering comprehensive support from planning and design through development and coding.

The Digital Agency and Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications clarify the necessity of web accessibility compliance and specific standards based on "JIS X 8341-3:2016". By adhering to these guidelines, Liberogic realizes improved web accessibility for your site.

Semantic document structure design

Properly markup headings (H1-H6) and landmarks to design a structure with high machine readability. This not only helps user understanding but also maximizes SEO effectiveness.

Color design that complies with WCAG standards

Ensure contrast ratios based on WCAG standards, accommodating diverse color vision characteristics. We also provide information transmission that doesn't rely solely on color (combined with shapes and text).

Text size and layout adjustments

Implement flexible and robust layouts that maintain integrity and don't lose information even when text size is changed or browser zoom functions (up to 200%, etc.) are used.

Providing alternatives for multimedia

Provide captions and text transcripts for video and audio content. We prepare alternative means so everyone can understand the content without relying solely on auditory or visual information.

Ensuring keyboard operability

Visualize focus indicators that show the current position and design a logical tab order. Users who cannot use a mouse can operate the interface stress-free using only the keyboard.

Screen reader optimization

By setting appropriate alt text for images and leveraging WAI-ARIA, we ensure accurate information and seamless user experience for those using assistive technologies.
