ADA Compliance with accessiBe

Web accessibility is a set of rules, behaviors, code standards, and design guidelines meant to allow people with disabilities, which comprise 20% of the world’s population, to use websites effectively. To achieve this, the W3C (The World Wide Web Consortium) has created the “Web Content Accessibility Guidelines” 2.1 (WCAG 2.1), which are meant to explain and guide developers on how to make websites accessible. These guidelines have been adopted by governments worldwide and are now a part of various legislation, such as the ADA, Section 508, EN 301549, and others.

The WCAG focuses mainly on three areas of accessibility: blind people using screen-readers (JAWS, NVDA), people with motor impairments that are using the keyboard, and a variety of other disabilities such as color blindness, epilepsy, and minor visual impairments that are mainly focused on the UI and design of the website (color contrasts, animations, fonts, etc.).

accessiBe utilizes two components that, together, achieve compliance. The first is the foreground application, the accessibility interface, which is responsible for 30% of the requirements, mostly UI and design-related. The second is the background application (AI, Machine Learning powered), which is responsible for the remaining 70% of requirements, mostly related to blind people’s screen-reader adjustments, and keyboard navigation optimizations for people with motor impairments.

accessiBe will not change a thing for the majority of users. It will only
be activated when turned on via the interface (or by a screen-reader if the user is blind), as an overlay to your website, and only for the user’s specific session.
Therefore, accessiBe won’t affect your design, UI, or performance at all. The entire process is automated. From remediation to becoming compliant. Additionally, it doesn’t collect user data, so GDPR compliance is not affected.

Privacy Policy with Termageddon

Websites collect personal information (like name, email, and IP address) through contact forms and tracking tools like Google Analytics. When you collect personal information (and could, in theory, be collecting it from website visitors located anywhere), you may be required by multiple privacy laws to provide a website Privacy Policy that is compliant with each law.

With the US having 23 proposed state privacy bills (some of which will enable citizens to sue businesses of any size and location simply for not having a compliant Privacy Policy on their website), you need to have a strategy to keep your Privacy Policy up to date as laws change, and new disclosures become required.

To be proactive about this issue, we’ve partnered up with a Privacy Policy generator called Termageddon. With their tool, we will work with you to generate a Privacy Policy, and other website policies, t0 fit your needs. Termageddon will automatically update your policies when the laws change (as well as notify you when changes are coming).
