Frequntly asked
about Website accessibility

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 are guidelines created by the W3 consortium for making web content more accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities.

These guidelines range from level A to AAA where more the latter has more criteria to pass. Among other things, WCAG 2.1 guidelines ensure screen readers and other assistive technologies are able to successfully interpret the HTML content on a website, making that website accessible for users with disabilities.

A lack of accessibility will not only prevent disabled users from using your site but also make your company vulnerable to expensive ADA lawsuits.

To eliminate the risk for an ADA lawsuit your website should meet at least the AA-level guidelines, especially if you're working in the healthcare sector.

We use a set of tools to catch any non-conformances and implement any fixes appropriately.

Some requirements may not be detected with automated tools and have to be manually tested against the official W3 curated WCAG 2.1 list of techniques and failures for accessibility.
