Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has become important these last few years. ADA standards apply to commercial and public businesses providing ‘places of public accommodation’. This includes the internet. Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) were created for developers to adhere to. Ensuring that your website is accessible by everyone, regardless of disabilities and age. With over 19,000 disability lawsuits in 2019, it is time to make sure all consumers can surf your website. Think of the thousands (or millions) of new disabled visitors you lost in the past. Now they will have access to your site’s content!
These updates can be seen after enabling the Add-on Icon on the lower hand side of the website. Once the Add-On is enabled, the viewer will see a popup window with a variety of options to choose from. To allow the most common features, simply select “Accessible Mode.” If a user requires a screen reader, try enabling the font to contrast.
There are a lot of reasons to be compliant. One of the most important reasons, a website needs to have the ability to reach as many people as possible. This isn’t limited to those with extreme disabilities like blindness or hearing impairments. Some elderly viewers might not be able to read smaller text. Our Add-On alleviates those issues.
Our websites provide a Website Accessibility Statement. This is essentially a formal verification. The accessibility statement is also a legal requirement for the latest WCAG compliance.
When inspected by a professional auditor, our sites have a success rate of 96%. This rate is much higher than the industry average of about 65%. The most important thing the plugin offers is the constant adjustments. It updates every time new content is added to the site. On most websites, the content is WCAG compliant until something new is added. Then the developers are required to edit that new content to make it compliant. You can feel safe knowing any additional photos or text included will be compliant. This happens immediately from using our plugin. Please call us about other content like videos and PDF attachments. We have services to make sure attachments are compliant too.
