FAQ

• What should my organization do about old content and media?

  It depends if they’re being used. But, according to ADA, the following are exceptions: web content that has been archived, no longer used preexisting conventional electronic documents, content posted by third parties not acting on behalf of the public entity, previous social media posts, and password-protected documents.

• How does Accessible Web ensure Section 508 compliance?

  We provide accessibility coverage from the initial finding of digital accessibility violations to ongoing monitoring. If you find and fix all violations found using digital and manual accessibility testing, you should be compliant with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.

• What is Section 508 compliance?

  Section 508 is a cornerstone of U.S. disability law. Complying means ensuring that federal agencies’ digital offerings are accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities. 

• What does Title II of the ADA cover?

  The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II protects people with disabilities in the United States and its territories. It mandates equal access to public entities’ programs, services, and activities. Digital accessibility must be incorporated into the design and implementation of information and communication technologies (ICT) including all state and local government operations, websites, mobile applications, online forms, digital documents, software, telecommunications systems, ATMs, and self-service kiosks. 

• What is accessibility for government websites?

  Government sites need to follow accessibility laws and regulations, such as the ADA and Section 508. How? Generally by following the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Processes and ICT must be accessible to everyone.
