  2. What are 508 compliance solutions? As defined by each statute, information and communications technology (ICT) must be accessible to people with disabilities to comply with Section 508 compliance solutions. This covers all website content, programs, software, hardware, and other tech used by staff or the general public. Except in limited circumstances, federal agencies are required by Section 508 compliance services. To ensure their information and communication technology (ICT) is usable by individuals with disabilities, they must comply with the Rehabilitation Act. It outlines several specifications and rules that must be adhered to to guarantee that people with disabilities may access information quickly and easily.

  3. Why do websites need to be 508 compliant? The most recent revision to 508 compliance solutions (added in 2017) gauges compliance with the same global standard—WCAG 2.0 AA. 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. For websites to increase accessibility for users with disabilities and increase traffic and conversion rates, 508 compliance is crucial. 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.
