Web accessibility is at the forefront of development.
Our team follows all current web accessibility standards, including the World Wide Web Consortium (WC3) guidelines, as well as Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), and develops all projects to be Section 508 compliant. Web accessibility is extremely important in making your sites and web applications more usable by all.
Whether you need to develop a new site, ongoing accessibility support, or have an existing site that needs updating, we offer accessibility services that improve your site in a number of ways.
How web accessibility improves your site
Enhanced user experience
Accessibility compliance standards identify numerous ways in which a site should accommodate different device types, platforms, assistive technologies, and operating systems, allowing your site to offer a number of intuitive user experiences without disruption.
SEO
Because accessibility standards require things like alternative text for images and transcripts for audio, compliant web pages are more robust, increasing content for search engine indexing and improving searchability.
Increased market reach
Complying with accessibility standards extends the reach of your site and its content, tapping you into a market of at least one billion people worldwide with a recognized disability.
Avoiding legal risk
Certain organizations, depending on their location and specialization, are legally required to comply with accessibility standards. Non-compliance can invite costly fines or lawsuits.
Creating accessible web experiences is a top priority in our development process. When a developer writes new code they are responsible for testing it manually before additional review. If code does not meet our accessibility standards, it is returned to the original developer for retooling and additional quality assurance and accessibility testing.
