Accessibility

We can help you make your website Accessibility Compliant

Recent regulations around the world require all government related websites to be WCAG 2.0 AA compliant. This applies to:

• Federal government websites


• Provincial / State government websites


• Municipal government websites


• Government services websites (for example, municipal library sites)


• Non-profit organizations that receive government funding (includes many industry associations)


• Charitable organizations and foundations that receive government funding

For example, in 2015 the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) became law and applies to all levels of government - see https://accessontario.com/aoda

The specific requirements will probably change over time, but the core elements of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 (level AA) are detailed at https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20

Recently some WordPress themes became available that were designed to cover all of the core requirements for accessibility compliance, for example:

• Icelancer - https://themedemos.webmandesign.eu/icelander sold at https://themeforest.net/item/icelander-accessible-business-portfolio-woocommerce-wordpress-theme/20138825?s_rank=1


• Monument Valley - https://themedemos.webmandesign.eu/monument-valley sold at https://themeforest.net/item/monument-valley-accessible-woocommerce-business-masterpiece/19252657


• These detail their accessibility compliance in their documentation at https://webmandesign.eu/manual/icelander/#accessibility


• Another option is http://demo.pixelemu.com/pe-public-institutions sold at https://www.pixelemu.com/blog/wordpress-themes/accessible-ready-wordpress-theme

By using one of these themes all of our work will automatically be Accessibility Compliant (including any eCommerce pages if needed later on) which will save a lot of time, effort and reduce cost.
