Announcing Our New Suite of Accessibility Tools: Accessible Web RAMP!
Since our launch in 2018, we’ve recognized the challenges that organizations are having with navigating the complexities of online ADA compliance and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). So, we created a new product that addresses these challenges: Accessible Web RAMP, a suite of SaaS tools designed to help teams discover, understand and resolve web accessibility issues.
People are finally paying attention to web accessibility and you should too. It’s estimated that twenty percent of people live with a disability. Upgrading your website to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, or WCAG, can dramatically improve their experience while helping your organization comply with accessibility laws. WCAG standards aren’t exactly common knowledge. Updating your code to support screen readers, keyboard-only users and assistive technologies can feel overwhelming. Where do you even start?
