Web accessibility enables your customers with disabilities to easily navigate your website, and creates a tangible return on investment through their buying power and brand loyalty.
By law, companies, as well as academic institutions, government agencies, and nonprofits are required to maintain accessible websites and applications. The Web Content Accessibility Guideline (WCAG) is the current standard used by many to comply with today’s laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508 of the Rehab Act
Is your website accessible for blind and low-vision individuals? Have you performed website accessibility and legal compliance audits? Do you meet WCAG standards, and are you ADA and Section 508 compliant?
If you don’t know, you are at risk for legal action. You need to be sure that all visitors to your website have fair and equal access to the information on the site. An accessible website is ADA compliant and complies with other federal laws, such as Section 508, as well as accessibility standards like WCAG.2.1
