We worry about your Digital Accessibility so you don’t have to.
Around 56.7 million Americans currently live with some form of disability. This number continues to increase as the population ages. It is expected that by 2060, the number of Americans living with disabilities will double to nearly 90 million. Those with vision, hearing, or physical disabilities are expected to make up around 20 percent of the population. These individuals can experience significant challenges when it comes to accessing websites, as well as applications and online documents.

Sites that don’t follow the accessibility guidelines risk legal problems, frustrated users, and missed business opportunities. Work with us and we'll make sure you're protected. Let us help you understand the guidelines and identify compliance issues.
Legal Risk
No one wants to receive a lawsuit, especially if it could easily be avoided.
User Frustration
If users are frustrated with your site, they could become frustrated with your brand. We want to help protect your reputation.
Financial Risk
You could miss business opportunities with someone because they can't access your digital presence.
Scan
We use our certified technology to test your website. A report is generated that identifies instances of failed compliance.
Fix
Our experienced web developers will fix any issues on your website, or we can create a report with instructions for how to fix the problems for your team to fix internally.
Monitor
We will run a monthly or quarterly scan of pages that have been added or updated to identify any new accessibility problems.
Why is being ADA Compliant important in Healthcare Institutions for those with disabilities?
- If the kiosk at the Urgent Care Center doesn’t allow someone to zoom in to read the screen, a person with low vision will have to say their personal information out loud for another person to enter in their information.
- If informational videos on wellness topics have not been captioned or transcribed, a deaf patient won’t be able to take advantage of their information.
- If the software display on a medical device to track a heart condition is so small and the patient who wears cannot read it, they will not be able to track their heart condition.
