What Arjul Tests And Delivers
Four parts of every engagement sit with Arjul. Each links to the service or testing guide it supports.
Screen reader and keyboard testing
Arjul performs comprehensive manual accessibility testing with NVDA and keyboard-only navigation, so barriers that scanners miss still get found.
- Screen readers: NVDA checks for real announce and navigation issues, covered in our screen reader testing guide.
- Keyboard only: focus order, focus visibility and operable controls, covered in our keyboard testing guide.
Automated scans that support the manual work
He pairs manual testing with automated tools including Axe, WAVE and ARC Toolkit, then uses the scan output as a starting point, not the final answer.
- What scanners catch: many pattern issues, fast, across templates.
- What they miss: meaning, flow and assistive-technology behavior. See our automated vs manual testing guide.
Issues developers can fix
His expertise covers semantic HTML, ARIA implementation, form accessibility, color contrast, focus management, screen reader compatibility and error handling, with reports written for development teams.
- Actionable reports: severity, WCAG mapping and clear remediations.
- After the audit: teams can move into our accessibility remediation service when they want fixes done for them.
