508 Compliance
At Davlin Consulting, we design accessible and user-friendly sites based on web standards and best practices such as valid HTML and CSS. We apply the principles of exceptional web design and impel high quality standards within our industry to bestow an improved experience for your visitors.
Why should this matter to you?
- You cannot always know how your site will be viewed, so it is vital to design for a wide array of audiences. This includes those with disabilities, those browsing on a mobile device, or visitors with dated technology. We’ll ensure your site works across a wide array of browsers, monitors, and operating systems.
- Sites that can be used by everyone will not only have a larger audience; they are also more search-engine friendly. This means Google and other search engines will find them easier and faster, and by doing so, generate more traffic for your business.
- Accessible sites with clean, valid code are easier to maintain, leading to lower ongoing costs for timely updates.
- If you are a public sector entity, you must comply with Section 508 section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. 794d). Section 508 requires that when Federal agencies develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology, Federal employees with disabilities have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to the access and use by Federal employees who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency. Section 508 also requires that individuals with disabilities, who are members of the public seeking information or services from a Federal agency, have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to that provided to the public who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency. Accessible websites take you a long way towards compliance, and we can advise you on how to meet the non-technical requirements.
