Be Accessible To All Users
Your Website Needs To Be Accessible To All Users
Think about how many resources you use daily that are found online. These uses may include education, employment, healthcare, banking, paying your bills, games, homework, email, social media platforms, shopping, news and sports. A truly accessible website helps people with disabilities have access to all this same information. From a business perspective, think about this: About 53 million people in the United States are living with a disability. So it just makes sense that your site is accessible to these potential clients.
Our web accessibility consultants have more than a decade of experience. We provide a unique approach by partnering with you to make sure we fully understand your goals and priorities. We work diligently to build your confidence in our team as we move forward to build your brand, offer expert strategy and make sure your vision comes to life. We will work closely with you throughout the design and accessibility process, whether you are building a new site or updating an existing site to today’s accessibility standards.
Web Accessibility Compliance for Education
Additionally, all educational institutions are required to comply with Section 508 standards. Section 508 is part of the Rehabilitation Act, a civil rights law that passed in 1973. This law guarantees that all federal government departments and federally funded agencies give fair treatment to people with disabilities. This includes websites and website elements , such as images, video, electric forms, keyboard functionality (for those people unable to use a mouse), text and movable content.
Making your website accessible requires a strong background in the standards and the technology to make it happen. To increase efficiency, consider allowing our accessibility consultants to act as your guide, rather than trying to learn all the nuances of accessibility yourself. These experts do this work all the time and are up to date on the latest trends. Additionally, most firms that offer accessibility have direct experience with people with disabilities. They know firsthand what makes a website functional and accessible and what people with disabilities actually need.
The Journey To Web Accessibility Compliance
As web accessibility consultants, we work together to make your site accessible. We are also looking to make your site compliant with web accessibility standards and help you to gain valuable insight into the overall process. We believe there is significant value in learning about the technical side of compliance, as you form new practices and policies for your website to remain as compliant as possible in the future.
After The Audit – Next Steps
Develop a Corrective Action Plan
Working with your team(s), ADA FOR WEBSITES’s accessibility consultants will create a roadmap consisting of a prioritized list of what can be handled to best address compliance issues. This will include work assignments for team members and timelines for your website to become compliant.
Remediation of Your Digital Environment
Based on your corrective action plan, our teams, in collaboration with any internal client resources, we will work together to resolve compliance issues and then review to ensure that issues are properly addressed in the best way.
Receive Your Letter of Conformance
Upon the completion of your web accessibility audit and verified resolution of issues, ADA FOR WEBSITES will deliver a Letter of Compliance demonstrating that issues were identified and remediated.
Ongoing Web Accessibility Assurance
Because technology is a living and breathing landscape, and standards, best practices and regulation continually evolves, it is a good idea to engage with a company like ADA FOR WEBSITES that will be able to provide ongoing web accessibility assurance. In doing this, you can anticipate new developments on your website and plan for accessibility and allow for periodic reviews of your environment. This is a very helpful insurance policy for your organization.
What Are the Legal Trends in Accessibility?
As you design your site and determine your goals, or as you look to upgrade your current site, we highly recommend you make sure accessibility is a significant focus in your project. Many organizations, whether public accommodations or privately held businesses, are currently facing legal action due to noncompliance with web accessibility standards.
- 2017 saw 814 Federal lawsuits filed
- The Onslaught of class action lawsuits alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
- DOJ enforces laws for State and local government services, employment, commercial facilities, transportation and places of public accommodation
- Litigation trend: Website accessibility under the ADA
