ADA Compliance

Website Accessibility

Everyone should be able to read and use your website.

There are many reasons to ensure that your website conforms to ADA Accessibility standards.

57 million Americans have a disability that could affect how they use the internet
As our internet-using population grows older, an increasing number of users will have disabilities
The more inclusive you are, the more readers and users you’ll have.
Website Accessibility lawsuits are very common these days.
ADA conformance isn’t difficult! It’s not rocket science. We have a simple process that we follow to bring websites into compliance.

A Basis: We base our compliance off of standards created by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). We address all A- and AA-Level conformance issues and any AAA-Level issues that can be satisfied (Level AAA is sometimes not achievable).
Assessment: Using a collection of assessment tools (including WAVE, SiteImprove, a11y.css, among others) and internal guidelines, we produce a checklist of your website’s accessibility deficiencies. We then assign them W3C Levels and make notes about how they can be fixed.
Improve and Comply: Once we have a complete checklist of accessibility errors and deficiencies, we use the checklist as a guideline and work our way through your website, fixing as many errors as possible.
Report: We test the completed website by operating the site using only a keyboard and then using only a screenreader. After we’re confident that we’ve addressed all compliance issues, we run the site through the same validation and assessment tools we used at the beginning of the project and produce a report certifying A- and AA-Level compliance.
