Section 508: ADA Compliant Web Design

Web Design For Everyone

Handicap accessibility, or disability accessibility isn’t just a good idea – it’s the law.  Some organizations choose to be ADA compliant because they are required to, and some do it because they are responsible.   Unfortunately many people don’t know what ADA compliance is until they are given 30 days to get their website into compliance – usually at the very worst time!

Web Accessibility and Section 508 Compliance are Complex Issues. We Can Help You Sort Through Them To Avoid the Legal and Ethical Issues of Non-Compliant Design.

It IS possible to have an attractive and accessible site! Maintaining a disability accessible website lets all your clients know that you value them. It gives you access to new markets, and it social and potential legal issues due to discrimination.

If your organization fits one of the following criteria you may be at risk for lawsuits based on anti-discrimination legislation.

1. Online product/customer support information, online transactions, or online search functionality that are not accessible.
2. Receive funding from the U.S. Federal government.
3. E-business web sites, including Financial Services
4. Online support and sell products to the U.S. Federal government market.

Inaccessible web sites expose your organization to potential revenue loss, punitive damages and compliance risks. At the very least, you may have to make quick, and potentially expensive web site overhaul when you least expect it.
