Accessible Web offers a suite of web tools and professional services to help businesses and organizations build and manage accessible websites and web applications. 20% of people live with some sort of disability, many of these people use assistive technologies to browse the web. People that are blind probably use a screen reader, a user that's paralyzed might use a sip-puff device, we've all seen an older person zoom up the text on their mobile device. There is a set of international standards called the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). By building websites that meet WCAG requirements, our clients are able to achieve compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508, Section 504, and other compliance laws. Equally as important, by having an accessible website, they can be confident that users with disabilities will have a barrier-free experience.
