Accessibility
If your products, services, or website are accessibile, it means that they are within reach and usable by as many people as possible. This includes people with disabilities and special needs.
There are more than 50 million Americans with a disability (more appropriately referred to as "people with special needs") and the number continues to grow as Baby Boomers age. People with special needs cross all age groups, genders, races and markets.
Doing the right thing
Dealing proactively with accessibility and disability issues becomes an incredible opportunity for every company, both from an moral and business perspective. Addressing special needs, whether through equal opportunity employment or making products and services accessible is the right thing to do to ensure your company is a good corporate citizen.
Be proactive
That's where Techthree can help. Our staff includes bright people who are both familiar with government rules and standards, and expert at evaluating products and working with you to produce conformance statements for use on your website or when you respond to requests for proposals (RFP) from government or education entities.
We've got a proven track record working with companies to interpret mandates such as Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires that Federal agencies' electronic and information technology is accessible to people with disabilities, including employees and members of the public.
Your First Step: Accessibility Audit
Our Accessibility Audit will show you how your website performs for users with disabilities. Our comprehensive report will give you an overview, context on the issues of accessibility, and concrete tasks for your developers to improve access to your site.
Here's our process:
- You tell us (or we help you determine) what level of accessibility compliance you need. This can range from a general improvement to a specific target with the WAI - (priority A or priority AAA).
- Our experts run technical and heuristic tests on your site to determine how easy or difficult it is to navigate your website with regard to accessibility.
- We provide a full report including:
- An overview to introduce the concepts and issues behind accessibility information regarding your legal responsibilities to provide an accessible website
- Specific instructions for developers on how to solve any problems and learning resources on how create and maintain accessible content.
- Personas of users and how people with disabilities interact with information online.
We also do product conformance reports (Section 508).
