ADA Compliance: Ensuring Accessibility for All

The Americans with Disabilities Act guarantees equal opportunities for people with disabilities. ADA compliance ensures that anyone can use your website with ease. Some of the best ways to keep your site compliant include providing sufficient contrast on text for readability, applying alt tags to images, adding labels to forms, including captions on videos, and maintaining keyboard navigation.

While there are apps that offer an overlay for better accessibility, they can reduce site performance. DEMAND ensures your site remains compliant by adhering to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and regularly performing audits using a set of tools.

PowerMapper can run an audit of every page on the site and provide a spreadsheet of errors, making it easy to identify areas for improvement.

Chrome plugins like SiteImprove, axe DevTools, and Wave can be used to check each page and guarantee that new features and content are compliant.

Screen readers like NVDA and iOS VoiceOver are used, along with keyboard navigation, to test that elements are displayed correctly. At DEMAND, our expert developers and QA engineers use this toolbox to ensure that any person can easily use your site.
