  2. What are 508 compliance solutions? The Workforce Rehabilitation Act of 1973 in the United States includes Section 508 compliance solutions. It outlines several specifications and rules that must be adhered to to guarantee that people with disabilities may access information quickly and easily. Several statutes apply to Section 508. Among them, the following are the ones that are most crucial to information and communication: Section 255 of the Communications Act; the 2010 Communications and Video Accessibility Act.

  3. Why do websites need to be 508 compliant? • The 2017 upgrade to Section 508 compliance services measures compliance with WCAG 2.0 AA, the same international standard. Similar to the old Section 508, WCAG 2.0 AA does not specify any requirements for websites to be compliant and accessible. Instead, the guidelines provide a precise picture of what accessible websites must do, focusing more on functionality. Websites must comply with Section 508 to improve accessibility for users with disabilities and increase traffic and conversions. • Websites inevitably incur the danger of lowering page views, limiting website statistics, and reducing their target audience if they ignore the accessibility requirements of the public.

  4. How to make your website 508 compliant? There are specific Website Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) that must be followed to make your website accessible. Some of the essential elements that help your website comply with 508 compliance solutions include: 1. Keyboard use for navigation and accessibility 2. Images with an alternative text 3. Video/audio transcripts or captions 4. Support for screen readers 5. Video alternative text 6. No time restrictions 7. The contrast of colors 8. Steer clear of any screen elements that flicker.

  5. What is Section 508 remediation? Making your website or application compatible with the Section 508 accessibility rules is called "Section 508 remediation." After an accessibility test, remediation is necessary to ensure that your website or application complies with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). This may involve making modifications to your code and deploying assistive technologies.
