Accessibility Compliance

Legal compliance from day one

Provide equal access
for all users of your site

It is estimated that 15% of the world population (~1 billion people) and 26% of U.S. adults have some form of disability. Disabilities can be visual, auditory, cognitive, or physical. They can also be permanent, temporary, or situational. Digital accessibility means creating and maintaining a barrier-free digital experience so that individuals of all abilities can access—and interact with—online information.

Think about digital accessibility the same way you think of accessibility in the physical world. If a building isn’t designed for someone using an assistive device, like a wheelchair, that person is blocked from moving around that building. Similarly, if a website is not designed to work with assistive technology, like a screen reader, that individual is blocked from moving around that website.

Digital accessibility are features that enable users with disabilities to navigate, understand, and interact with digital content. An example would be support for assistive technologies (AT) like screen readers. Think of it as the “ramps and rails” of the digital world.
