Accessibility and ADA Compliance

Accessibility

Accessibility is an important part of the designing your site and should be considered throughout the development process.

By making your website accessible, you are ensuring that all of your potential users, including people with disabilities, have a good user experience and are able to easily access your information.  By implementing accessibility best practices, you are also improving the usability of the site for all users.

Can you navigate your site easily with just the keyboard? Are there interface elements that only work with a mouse? These are just a two of the often overlooked issues that make a site non-accessible to visually disabled users.

Check this site with the WAV accessibility checker (https://wave.webaim.org). You'll see it's very accessible and screen-reader friendly. We can do the same for your site.

ADA Compliance

The Americans with Disabilities Act requires many businesses to make their web sites accessible for people with disabilities. Content needs to be accessible to the blind, deaf and those who must navigate by voice, screen readers or other technologies.

Besides the benefits to all your users, compliance with ADA regulations limits your exposure to lawsuits - especially "drive-by" nuisance ones.

WCAG 2.1 and Section 508

We have worked with WCAG and section 508 requirement for years.  We know how to update existing sites and keep accessibility in mind when designing and building new sites. We know where the pitfalls are and what works.
