A resource for Accessibility and Section 508 compliance for your web site.
Accessibility of your corporate web site is an asset to your marketing strategy. The U.S Census Bureau estimates that 1 out of 5 Amerians have one or more disabilities. Americans reporting themselves as disabled control over 1 trillion dollars in assets. This is market share that cannot be written off. We all know people affected by disabilities, from senior citizens afflicted with arthitis to the purchasing agent losing his hearing.
Recent studies indicate that seniors demonstrate a 75% loyalty to web sites that meet their access needs, and people with disabilities demonstrate 90% loyalty to sites that that are accessible.
Accessible web sites can be beautiful and can incorporate the latest in Internet trends in design. After an initial investment in training and testing tools, accessible web sites can be more cost effective to maintain. Accessible web sites can meet the requirements of Section 508, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and international laws governing accessibility.
Enterprise Accessibility can help you increase market share, meet compliance standards or guidelines, and educate your staff to maintain your web site for long-term efficiency.
