Who Can Benefit from Accessibility Consulting

Accessibility Consulting

Did you know that according to the Census Bureau, more than 48.5 million people live with some kind of disability in the United States alone. This number represents more than $175 billion of income. Yes, it is doing the right thing to make your product accessible for people with disabilities, but it also makes good business sense. With our help you can profit while creating more opportunities for others.

Section 508 Services

Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act requires products to be made accessible when they are developed, procured, maintained or used by the U.S. federal government. This requirement applies to vendors who contract to the government. We can help you comply with all of the Section 508 standards, such as:

Software applications and operating systems
Web-based intranet and internet information and applications
Telecommunications products
Video and multimedia products
Self contained, closed products
Desktop and portable computers
Information, Documentation, and Support

Currently the Section 508 standards are being rewritten. We can help you comply with the new standards before they come into effect.

WCAG Services

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, WCAG, is a set of recommendations which is adopted by several countries. Other countries, such as the United States, have accessibility standards similar to the WCAG. Therefore, complying with the WCAG recommendations provides a high level of international accessibility.

Currently the WCAG 1.0, written in 1999 is used officially, but the WCAG 2.0 is in its final draft. We can help you comply with both WCAG 1.0 and WCAG 2.0. Make sure you comply with WCAG 2.0 from the day it is implemented.

DDA Services

The Disability Discrimination ACT (DDA) requires web sites to be accessible in the United Kingdom. Accessibility can be established by following the WCAG recommendations, at least using priority 2 or level AA conformance.

We can help you comply with the DDA web accessibility requirements and to make your web site a great experience for people with disabilities.

Accessible product promotion

After putting all the great work into making your products accessible, it is time to capitalize on it. We can show you how to promote your products to people with disabilities, so that you reach the target audience you want to, and extend your customer base.

There are several ways to reach out to people with disabilities, including:

Take your products to shows, exhibits and conferences
