Web accessibility is a big deal and becoming more important every day. While
websites are viewed by people with various disabilities, they are not often
created, or more importantly maintained with this population in mind. For many
years Federal Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (“WCAG”) and New York State
(Section 508) have strongly suggested and encouraged site owners to develop and
maintain sites for those with disabilities. Today, site owners across the county
(and around the world) are finding themselves in legal battles over their
websites. While the United States has long been known for its litigious culture,
websites have become an easy and on occasion, a legitimate target for those
looking for a financial windfall or settlement.
Since opening our doors in 2006, we have taken into consideration these requirements
with each of our site builds. This includes the way we display links, the color
contrast within the pages of the sites and other code used to assemble the sites.
With the always evolving guidelines and increased number of demand letters and suits being filed
against site owners, we believe it is important to further improve in this area and
offer our clients an expanded, comprehensive, and proactive approach.
We are excited to partner with accessiBe, the number one fully automated web accessibility
solution in the world for ADA and WCAG compliance.
Here’s how it works –
After configuring an account for your name and installing the platform on every page
of your site, accessiBe utilizes two applications that together achieve full
compliance. The accessibility interface is responsible for all the UI and
design-related adjustments, while the AI-powered background process handles
optimizations for screen-reader and for keyboard navigation (the most complex
requirements).
Once installed, this platform continues to work behind the scenes to ensure your
site is appropriately displayed and functions appropriately to meet and/or exceed
the requirements defined by ADA and WCAG. As these requirements evolve, so does the
accessiBe platform giving you peace of mind your site is always functioning to the
latest standard without us having to constantly rebuild and update your site
interface.
The accessiBe platform also provides automated site audits and reporting for site
owners as well as a real-time site compliance statement for site visitors which have
been proven to significantly reduce site owner’s exposure and liability.
If you haven’t done this yet, it’s a perfect time to click on the blue accessibility icon on
each page of our website and see for yourself what this platform does and how it works in
real time. (Be sure to click on the statement link to check out the live audit).
In addition, clients who take advantage of our partnership with accessible will realize the following benefits:
A turnkey solution – we’ll handle everything from the account configuration, reoccurring billing and platform installation on your site.
A significant savings over purchasing this product direct from accessiBe or another accessiBe partner.
