ADA COMPLIANCE DEVELOPMENT
At Inspiration Studio Designs, we are well equipped to help your website make the jump to ADA / 508 compliance
The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), originally passed in 1990, takes steps to ensure that people with disabilities have access to the same services, accommodations, and facilities as the rest of the population. This set of regulations applies to both the public and private sectors. In order to keep up with the ever-changing digital landscape of American commerce, the ADA has updated their laws to include specific stipulations for websites, eCommerce and online applications.
At Inspiration Studio Designs, we are well equipped to help you make the jump to ADA compliance. We also understand that gaining your ADA compliance or your validation "pass" can be confusing because there is no official certificate or stamp of approval that you can obtain to “check it off your list.” Instead, ADA compliance is about due diligence. Businesses need to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 and best practices set forth by the ADA to ensure they are maintaining compliance, therefore, eliminating the risk of liability in the event of legal action.
OUR APPROACH
At Inspiration Studio Designs, we implement and integrate ADA-friendly protocols into websites, online applications and digital marketing efforts following WCAG 2.0 (Level A to AAA) ADA / 508 compliance. Obtaining ADA compliance is a complicated process, but here are just a few of the ways that we do it…
- Build “skip navigation” functionality for text reader programs
- Converting PDF documents into Accessible PDF's with Accessibility Reports
- Creating real-time captions for videos, as well as following embed protocols
- Ensuring that all Java-based elements are 100% compatible with assistive technologies
- Giving alt tags to every image file, video file, audio file, and plug-in
- Using the LABEL element when form controls require text input
- Providing explicit alternative explanations of links attached to non-traditional web elements
- Ensuring no images or graphics create a flashing or strobe-like effect
