Section 508

Web Accessibility for clients with special needs. Is your website accessible to users with disabilities? With the introduction of Section 508, many websites are required to become compliant with federal regulations for use by handicapped persons. Many disabled people use assistive technologies for browsing the Internet (i.e. text readers), and websites that do not meet the Section 508 compliance standards are not usable by these technologies.

Gravitate is qualified to bring your website up to government standards for interface design accessibility. Whether it involves working within your existing framework, or designing from scratch – we can make sure that you don’t lose valuable business due to non-compliance. Fortunately, making your website accessible usually doesn’t require drastic redesigns or sacrificing your current aesthetic – and in general, the practices used to meet Section 508 compliance also improves the overall usability of your site!
