Ada Website Consultants
On the subject of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act, Section 508, the courts and the Department of Justice have made it clear website accessibility is a civil rights law. Unless a mobile app or website is designed to meet WCAG standards, it is not Section 508 or ADA compliant. Without having ADA Website Compliance Consultants, meeting the standards, educational institutions, municipalities, and businesses are exposed to legal action!

Our team of consultants uses best practices to augment automated testing limitations with human testing that delivers ADA and Section 508 mobile app and website WCAG compliance auditing!
Our approach involves:
# Automated Testing
# Manual Code and UX Analysis
# Assistive Technology Testing
Steps to Comply with WCAG
1. You must understand what accessibility entails and its importance for your organization, institution, or business. Key stakeholders must be aware of the risks, opportunities, and solutions.
2. A game plan is developed that is based on your situation. It depends on whether you are reacting to existing legal litigation or trying to avoid it. The point of a website’s lifecycle helps determine if a current site should be fixed or redesigned.
3. Get help to address the website. Whether we decide to fix the current site or build a fresh one, our professional team understands the nuances of WCAG accessibility. We are fluent in the terminology of ADA compliance and understand the code.
4. Maintain work documentation and publish a statement on your website about web accessibility.
