COMPLIANCE, COMPATIBILITY, AND ACCESSIBILITY
To ensure the compliance, compatibility, and accessibility as described and required by the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, we will install the plugin, WP Accessibility. All other requirements will need to be filtered through and accounted for accordingly. Additionally, we will run the website through a compliance validator program to find the exact areas with issues.
- Accessibility Features added by WP Accessibility:
- Enable skip links with WebKit support by adding JavaScript support to move keyboard focus.
- Add skip links with user-defined targets. (Customizable targets and appearance.)

W3C standards are set forth by the W3C organization. Our procedure for compliance involves making sure every page has a document type first off. When the website design is in the final stages we process the site through a W3C compliance evaluator that will find all the discrepancies and issues so fixes can be installed.
ADA, Section 508, and W3C are all part of our In-House Quality Control Measures.
Finally, our websites are compatible with Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Internet Explorer less 3 versions.
