Dual Approach: Automated vs. Manual Fixes
When Adacertify identifies accessibility issues on your website, it presents you with two primary, distinct paths for remediation: Automated Fixes and Manual Fixes.
Understanding the difference between these two approaches is essential for choosing the most efficient, effective solution for every issue in your audit report.
Automated fixes handle the common, routine tasks, while manual fixes tackle the complex, specialized challenges.
Automated Fixes: Speed and Efficiency
Automated Fixes are handled instantly by Adacertify’s AI-powered system. This is your first line of defense, designed for speed and efficiency, making it best for quick improvements and ongoing, continuous monitoring.
Since these fixes require no manual coding, they save significant time and resources.
Automated Fixes excel at resolving common, predictable issues such as:
-
Adding missing image alt text (in many standard cases).
-
Adjusting color contrast for better visibility.
-
Correcting heading structures for semantic accuracy.
-
Enabling proper keyboard navigation attributes.
The core advantage is that these improvements occur automatically in the background, requiring zero technical intervention from your team.
Manual Fixes: Depth and Customization
Manual Fixes, conversely, require the direct intervention of a developer, designer, or content manager, or they can be handled by Adacertify’s expert remediation team.
These are needed for complex issues that automation cannot fully interpret or safely correct, making them best for long-term compliance and advanced accessibility challenges.
Manual intervention is necessary for problems such as:
-
Rebuilding inaccessible custom forms or complex interactive user inputs.
-
Fixing dynamic content like inaccessible pop-ups, modal windows, or complex sliders.
-
Correcting video and audio content that requires accurate, human-generated captions or transcripts.
-
Resolving custom-coded features with unique JavaScript or ARIA requirements.
The advantage of manual fixes is the ability to ensure deep-level corrections and tailored solutions that automation alone cannot achieve.
By combining the instant benefits of Automated Fixes with the precision of Manual Fixes, Adacertify ensures your website achieves and maintains a guaranteed level of compliance.
