4. Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 ADA Compliant
- Websites are considered places of public accommodations and must be accessible for people with disabilities.
- Accessibility involves a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.
- Inaccessible websites face serious legal consequences
Much of the guidelines were considered and accommodated with the design of our website. But there are some issues that must be manually dealt with.
When creating your content be sure to
- Fill in the image description field - used by screen readers
- Verify any uploaded documents (PDF) are accessible
- Document Accessibility
- Adobe documentation
- There are several tools you can use to check compliancy Sortsite Accessibility Checker will do all your content and PDF files
- Be sure to Paste as Text when copying text from other sources
- Word documents and E-Mail message contain hidden code that define text size, color and font. Some of these are not WCAG 2.1 acceptable . Pasting as text will default to the website size, color and font which have been verified.
