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).
