Accessible Web Development

The web plays an important role in education, employment, commerce, government and recreation. In the early days of the text-based Internet accessibility wasn't a problem because graphics were few. But as Internet technology has advanced it has created more difficulties for the visually impaired. For this reason, Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act requires all public / commercial websites to be developed so that they are accessible to the disabled. However, it has been reported by iCan.com, an online community devoted to people with disabilities, that 98% of websites are not accessible to the disabled because they do not comply with Section 508.

This has become a major problem for organizations in business and government because it is difficult for them to find a qualified web developer who understands these accessibility laws and can integrate them into today's advanced technologies. We are an industry-recognized leader in the development of accessible web sites because we optimize all areas of the development process in order to ensure full accessibility.
