ACCESSIBILITY COMPLIANCE

Ensuring your website complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is both a legal obligation and a commitment to inclusivity. The ADA mandates that public accommodations, including websites, be accessible to individuals with disabilities. In 2023, over 4,500 ADA-related web and app accessibility lawsuits were filed, emphasizing the need to create standards for web use.

For government entities, compliance with accessibility standards is particularly critical. The Department of Justice's 2024 rule under Title II of the ADA requires state and local governments to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA for their web content and mobile applications.

Artio specializes in helping meet these accessibility standards. By auditing your digital platforms within the designated WCAG standards, we’ll provide you with a detailed report on your current compliance level and optional solutions that are easy to implement.
