The WCAG Agency is our newly launched brand!!<\/p>\n

The internet should be easy to access by everyone and this is something the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) was set up to streamline.<\/p>\n

In over a decade of building websites and applications, we have gathered a lot of experience in ensuring compliance with these rules.<\/p>\n

What led to the set up of this brand though is something different.<\/p>\n

The United States in 1990, introduced the American’s with Disabilities (ADA) act. This made sure business premises are easily accessible by everyone.<\/p>\n

With a supreme court ruling a few years back which included business websites as properties that should be compliant with the ADA, so many people started suing businesses with non compliant websites.<\/p>\n

This means websites should have sufficiently contrasting colors, all images should have “alt” text as well as a lot of other modifications.<\/p>\n

Since that ruling, the number of compliance cases against businesses has shot up dramatically with over 11,000 filed last year (2021).<\/p>\n

These cases can be expensive and are all inconvenient especially with the current economic climate.<\/p>\n

We have performed a number of audits and remediation for non compliant sites<\/a> and we decided to put the experience from these in a product, the WCAG agency which should help as many businesses get ADA compliant<\/a> in a very short time and at an affordable rate.<\/p>\n

While our marketing would be focused on American businesses, any business from anywhere in the world who would love more inclusive development is free to contact us.<\/p>\n
