Why Website Accessibility Matters
Accessibility is about ensuring that your website can be easily used by individuals with disabilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, voice recognition software, and alternative input devices. A compliant website is designed to be navigable, readable, and fully functional for all users, regardless of their abilities. Making your site accessible ensures that you are welcoming to a broader audience, which can positively impact your brand reputation, user satisfaction, and conversion rates.
Our ADA Compliance & Accessibility Services
At Masthead Technology, we take a comprehensive approach to accessibility, ensuring that your website meets the latest ADA guidelines and industry standards, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Our services include:
- Accessibility Audits: We conduct thorough audits of your website to identify potential accessibility issues, such as missing alt text, improper headings, or difficult navigation.
- ADA Compliance Implementation: We implement all necessary changes to ensure your website meets ADA and WCAG compliance, including adding alt tags for images, improving color contrast, and ensuring proper form labels.
- Keyboard Navigation: Enhancing your site’s functionality for users who navigate without a mouse by ensuring it is fully keyboard-accessible.
- Screen Reader Compatibility: Ensuring your website’s content is fully accessible to screen reader technologies, allowing visually impaired users to interact with your site seamlessly.
- Video and Audio Captioning: Providing captions for video and audio content so that all users can access your media, including individuals with hearing impairments.
- Ongoing Monitoring & Updates: Accessibility compliance is not a one-time task. We offer ongoing monitoring and updates to ensure your website remains compliant as new standards emerge or site content changes.
