Standards and Best Practices

Our work aligns with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Levels A and AA, established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines inform every stage of our development process, from wireframes to final launch.

We regularly audit and test our projects to identify and correct accessibility barriers. Our team stays current with evolving compliance requirements, including Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Continuous Improvement

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We continually review and refine our practices to keep pace with advancements in technology and changes in legal standards. Feedback from users is invaluable to us, and we welcome input on how we can improve the accessibility of our work.
