Cultive Launches "Allyera" Web Accessibility Diagnostic Service for Businesses and Local Governments

Cultive Inc. (Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; Representative Director: Kiyoshi Ikeda) has begun offering "Allyera" (trademark pending), a web accessibility diagnostic service that visualizes accessibility issues on corporate and local government websites, assists with prioritizing improvements, and provides re-diagnosis.

This service conducts diagnostics by combining automated checks with expert visual and operational verification, based on WCAG 2.2 perspectives. The diagnostic results are provided in a report format that is easy to use for instructing production companies on corrections or for internal explanations within government offices and companies, supporting continuous improvement of information dissemination by businesses and local governments.

With the revision of the Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities, which came into effect in April 2024, the provision of reasonable accommodation has become mandatory not only for government and public institutions but also for private businesses. Consequently, the importance of web accessibility compliance has further increased.

Furthermore, with the generalization of smartphone browsing and the evolution of search engines and generative AI, properly structured and marked-up web pages not only enhance user convenience but also lead to the creation of a structured information dissemination infrastructure that is easily understood by search engines and generative AI. Accessibility compliance is no longer just a matter of consideration but has become a crucial element for enhancing corporate value and public relations capabilities. On the other hand, many companies face challenges such as "difficulty in selecting representative pages, determining the scope of diagnosis, and judging the priority of improvements," "difficulty in handling due to lack of specialized knowledge," and "high costs and long lead times when requesting experts."

Against this backdrop, Cultive leverages its accumulated expertise in web support to provide a diagnostic service compliant with the international guideline "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 (WCAG 2.2)." By combining automated checks with expert verification of keyboard operations, screen reader environments, color contrast, form input, and heading structures, the service achieves both accuracy and efficiency, realizing diagnostics with reduced costs and lead times.

Overview of the "Allyera" Web Accessibility Diagnostic Service

This service comprehensively evaluates whether public or planned websites are designed with diverse users in mind, diagnosing whether all users can comfortably use them. Diagnostic results are provided as a summary document and a detailed report, clarifying problem areas and improvement priorities. The format is directly usable for actual improvement work and for instructing internal and external production companies on corrections. Re-diagnosis after corrections is also supported.

Web accessibility compliance for corporate websites not only prepares for legal revisions but also leads to improved customer experience, brand trustworthiness, recruitment public relations, and searchability. Cultive supports everything from current diagnosis to organizing improvement priorities and creating reports that can be used for instructing internal and external production companies on corrections. For local governments, websites such as official sites, electronic applications, tourism/relocation, disaster prevention, and public facilities serve as important information infrastructure for residents, businesses, and visitors. This service provides diagnostic reports that are easy for non-specialized staff to understand, supporting their use for internal explanations, requests for corrections to commissioned businesses, and specification reviews for the next renewal.
