508 Compliance and Web Accessibility

508 Compliance or ADA Compliance is the process of making online media accessible to website visitors empowering everyone to consume your content and benefit from your website’s functionality.

Your website audience is diverse, some users may not be able to see the screen, and others may have motor skill issues that prevent them from using a mouse. Your website or web product needs to accommodate this audience. It is not just a legal mandate but a clear ethical choice; making media accessible to all is a good thing. It’s a service and industry you can easily become passionate about.

Our team at Web Experts saw the benefit of making media accessible early on and were at the forefront of making websites and PDFs compatible with first-generation screen readers. Fast forward to 2022, screen readers are now embedded software on every mobile device, accessibility functions are easily found on all major tech platforms, and national and international mandates that all website media be made accessible to users.

Web Experts has experience in making PDFs, websites, visual content, and mobile applications 508 Complaint. Our team has created VPATS and completed GPATS on behalf of our clients. We have never used automated ADA-compliant tools because they provide an inadequate user experience. No content is cookie-cutter, and everyone deserves to experience your rich content as intended.

Web Experts has had the privilege of working with organizations like NASA, ICF International, Georgia State University, and the University of Florida on mission-critical 508 Compliant projects. Let us be your 508 Complaint Team for all ADA-related projects.

“Web Experts did incredible work for us, saving the day for our client and avoiding delaying a one billion dollar, 450-megawatt photovoltaic solar energy facility on BLM lands in Riverside County, California. With no advance notice, we asked Web Experts to provide 508 compliance processing of numerous complex documents containing over 1500 pages in only 7 days. Unbelievably, they did it. Enthusiastically joining our team without hesitation and working on evenings and weekends, they delivered the results we needed on time, within budget, and with a quality that passed our client’s subsequent detail review. I highly recommend using them for any project. They gave us seamless support, quick turnaround, and top-level results at reasonable rates, greatly surpassing our highest expectations. We are grateful that we chose them, and we plan to use them again whenever we can.” – R. Burke, CEP, TRC Solutions
