Accessible Web Design For Everyone

Make every website feature, element, and pixel accessible for all of your users. You wouldn’t ignore paying customers in a brick-and-mortar store, so your brand’s digital experience should be no different. 3 Media Web can provide VPAT certification of your website upon request.

Keep All of Your Users In Mind

Equitable digital experiences make the internet a better place for everyone. Your website shouldn’t cater to any single group online but instead, focus on being inclusive to let your full audience access your content. When requesting an ADA Compliant website, our teams work hard to pass rigorous accessibility standards throughout every stage of our development process.

More Effective, Equitable Design

Often, design changes made with accessibility in mind also provide the rest of your website visitors a better digital experience. Text, images, or features that are hard to see, read, or use may be giving people without accessibility concerns similar problems without you knowing it. Our team can help.

Future Compliance

According to recent court cases regarding accessibility, it may soon become the standard, even required, to design websites to remedy all accessibility concerns. Instead of waiting to be penalized for a website that doesn’t work for all before it’s required by law, addresses the accessibility issues that may cause some of your audience to drop off from your website. 3 Media Web is skilled at building and maintaining websites that meet accessibility guidelines.

FAQs

We strongly suggest that everyone includes web accessibility in their web design projects.  This often adds time and budget to your project.  You must specifically request this to be part of your project.  However, going through this process can save you time and money in the future if a lawsuit is brought against you.

It might seem like a time-consuming process, but improving web accessibility can only help your site and expand your potential audience.

The Web Accessibility Initiative states those with disabilities should be able to “perceive, understand, and interact with the web” and should also be able to “contribute to the web” in a meaningful manner.

Improving web accessibility enhances the user experience for said individuals. While the motivations behind prioritizing accessibility may range from altruistic (improving the lives of people with disabilities) to selfish (avoiding negative public blowback), the end goal of opening the internet to a broader user base remains the same.

We can help evaluate your current levels of accessibility and help improve your web accessibility down the road.

In short, yes. Even if you’re not a government agency or vendor. The ADA is now being extended to cover private enterprise, too. Therefore, it’s wise to ensure your website is ADA compliant. If it isn’t, make the necessary adjustments as quickly as possible.

If you don’t, you risk losing potential customers who cannot use your website, but you also open yourself to the risk of a lawsuit.
