Why should I care?

Lawsuits are expensive.

Over 1,200 ADA-related suits were brought in 2024 alone.

What does ADA and Section 508 compliance actually mean?

The Web Content Accessibility Guideline (WCAG) is a roadmap for compliance - a list of guidelines and best practices. These WCAG Guidelines are a lens through which we can determine the current compliance level of the site.

What are the three levels of conformance?

In order to meet the needs of different users, three levels of conformance are defined: A (lowest), AA, and AAA (highest). While a site that passes all Level A criteria is in compliance, we prefer to aim higher.

What does a WCAG compliance guideline look like?

WCAG 2.0 1.2.6
Level AAA
A sign language video is provided for all media content that contains audio.

This guideline is considered part of the AAA level set of guidelines. As such, a site may reach A or AA level compliance while still failing this specific guideline.

There are over 130 guidelines in total.

1. Review

Our team will review and test each site against this standard and its four primary sections - Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robustness.

This testing will include automated, manual and assistive technology batteries of tests.

The output of this review is a report that outlines the pass or fail status of each WCAG guideline.

2. Recommend & Remedy

Recommendations will be made as to the most efficient and effective way to attain the desired level of compliance. Often this requires a holistic view, rather than a guideline by guideline approach.

Our development experience allows us to make these recommendations in a clear fashion to your development team.
