Accessibility
What is Digital Accessibility?
When thinking about accessibility, you may think about whether or not you can access something. While that is technically true, it’s not the whole story. Digital accessibility is ensuring a person with a disability has the same ease of access to a website, application, or other digital system as those who do not have a disability.

So you need to test accessibility in your application...
Before beginning, you need to understand what is expected. We do not and cannot guarantee 100% compliance with WCAG, ADA, NITC guidelines, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, or other relevant regulations or standards, but we can help to get you as close as possible. We also cannot guarantee identical output from assistive technologies, as different operating systems and web browsers handle accessibility differently. When testing your sites and applications, it is vital to perform manual testing. Automated testing is a good starting point, especially for visual testing, but automated and A.I. based tooling catches only 25% to 35% of all issues.
