Web accessibility importance

Web accessibility is
not something that would be nice to have
, but
an absolute necessity.

Anytime, anywhere, for everyone. Making the web truly accessible for all.
Improving usability for all users, expanding business results,
enhancing corporate value, and reducing risk.
Web accessibility is
a critical management strategy that is indispensable to modern digital business.

Why should you start now?

Legal risks are becoming real across the globe, and in Japan, amendments to laws are increasingly requiring action.
However, viewed from another angle, now, while few companies have responded yet, is also the moment to gain an advantage as an early mover.

The earlier you act, the
greater the benefits you can gain


Risks of delaying action

  1. Damage to brand image
  2. Lost opportunities
  3. Rising costs of case-by-case responses
  4. Legal risk

Benefits of Acting Now

  1. Brand Value Enhancement
  2. Lead Generation
  3. Operational Efficiency
  4. Risk Mitigation

Web accessibility is not merely a compliance measure.
Addressing it early allows you to fulfill your social responsibility while expanding business opportunities and preventing future cost increases.
It is no longer something to do "when there is time"; it has become a management priority that should be tackled early.

Diagnosis by Specialists

Audits conducted across WCAG 2.0 to 2.2 and conformance levels A to AAA. Based on WCAG-EM, we carefully select 10 to 20 representative pages that cover the structure of your site, along with randomly selected pages for detailed review. Expert analysis is delivered in a clear, easy-to-understand report.

  • Reasoned sampling based on WCAG-EM
  • In-depth manual testing by experts
  • Clear, easy-to-understand reports
  • Clear prioritization of improvements

Design That Preserves Your Brand
"Accessible Design"

We consider UI/UX and accessibility together from the design stage, balancing visual appeal and usability at a high level.
For existing site redesigns, we apply our advanced knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to update your site to its optimal form while keeping the current design intact.

  • Accessibility integrated from UI/UX design stage
  • Technical improvements that respect existing design
  • Forward-looking design to reduce future rework costs

Report / Advisory: Reports and technical advisory based on global standards

In addition to inspection certificates, we issue reports in the VPAT format commonly used in the United States (ACR)*. Certificates and reports are available in HTML or PDF format.
We support you as an "accessibility partner" with ongoing consultation, from technical advice to implementation support.

Note: For sites in Japan, we issue an inspection certificate and a WCAG conformance status report. Issuing an additional VPAT / ACR report is available as an option. For sites deployed in the United States, we do not issue a certificate; instead, we prepare the report in VPAT / ACR format.
  • VPAT / ACR report issuance
  • Ongoing technical support from specialists
  • Implementation support
  • Reports available in HTML, PDF, and English

Frequently Asked Questions

Q

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on the plan. The "Light Plan", which provides a simplified assessment of issues, starts at 50,000 JPY, and the "Standard Plan", which includes a detailed audit and an inspection certificate, starts at 200,000 JPY. We can also provide consistent support from post-audit implementation to new design production. Costs vary depending on the site's size, complexity, and additional requirements, so please contact us for a Free consultation and we will prepare an estimate for you.
Q

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

WCAG is the global accessibility standard developed by the W3C. JIS X 8341-3:2016 adopted "WCAG 2.0", which was published as a W3C Recommendation in 2008, for use in Japan, and its content is now outdated. In contrast, the newer WCAG 2.1/2.2 is optimized for today's web environment, with considerations for smartphone operation, low vision, and cognitive characteristics.
Q

Should we adopt "WCAG" or "JIS X 8341-3:2016"?

Unless JIS compliance is mandatory, such as in public sector tender requirements, we recommend "WCAG 2.1/2.2". Auditing against the latest standard not only prepares you for future revisions of JIS, but also reliably improves usability on mobile devices.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' "Public Sector Website Operation Guidelines for Everyone (2024 Edition) (PDF / 4.2MB)" also states that sites should, where possible, be built based on WCAG 2.2 success criteria in anticipation of upcoming JIS revisions, and compliance with the latest standard is becoming the standard approach in Japan.
Q

How are the pages to be audited selected?

Pages are selected based on "WCAG-EM", an international evaluation methodology. We combine key templates that make up the site (structured samples) with random sampling to avoid overlooking issues. Rather than simply increasing the number of pages, our experts carefully select "meaningful 10-20 pages", enabling efficient and accurate audits.
Q

Is auditing 10-20 pages sufficient?

Yes, if the goal is to improve the overall quality of the site. JIS testing required in public sector tenders is primarily for proof of conformance, so inspections of 40 or more pages are common. Our WCAG-EM approach, however, is a quality management method focused on understanding overall site trends and efficiently improving quality. This allows us to accurately identify issues across the entire site while keeping costs down.
Q

How long does a diagnosis take?

For a standard corporate website (a sampling diagnosis of about 10-20 pages), the first report is typically delivered within approximately 10-15 business days from the start of the diagnosis. Timing varies depending on the complexity and volume of your site, so if you need results sooner, please contact us in advance.
Q

What is a "VPAT / ACR"?

VPAT is a template for accessibility evaluation, while ACR refers to the actual report created using that template. Developed from U.S. government procurement standards, it is a globally recognized format used in B2B transactions as an "information disclosure document" to explain in detail how a product supports accessibility. Its defining feature is transparency: it clearly states where limitations exist and how they are addressed.
Q

Is there a benefit to creating a VPAT / ACR for websites targeting the Japanese domestic market?

Yes, transparent disclosure leads to greater trust. Beyond a simple pass/fail judgment, having a document that describes your product's accessibility status in detail demonstrates your company's commitment to honesty. It is also a valuable tool as evidence material for prospective customers evaluating your product, and as part of information disclosure for IR and ESG investment.
Q

How should issues found in the diagnosis be fixed?

We provide concrete improvement proposals at the source code level. In addition, under our Premium plan, our engineers can write the code directly on your behalf. Our greatest strength is implementation capability: resolving accessibility issues while maintaining your existing design and brand identity.
