Description: 508 Compliance and ADA Compliance is a speciality and passion of Web Experts. Testing, conversions, and consultation services based in the US.
508 Compliance or ADA Compliance is the process of making online media accessible to website visitors empowering everyone to consume your content and benefit from your website’s functionality.
Your website audience is diverse, some users may not be able to see the screen, and others may have motor skill issues that prevent them from using a mouse. Your website or web product needs to accommodate this audience. It is not just a legal mandate but a clear ethical choice; making media accessible to all is a good thing. It’s a service and industry you can easily become passionate about.
Our team at Web Experts saw the benefit of making media accessible early on and were at the forefront of making websites and PDFs compatible with first-generation screen readers. Fast forward to 2022, screen readers are now embedded software on every mobile device, accessibility functions are easily found on all major tech platforms, and national and international mandates that all website media be made accessible to users.
