Accessibility
Impressively Accessible Websites for All Audiences
Roughly 20% of adults require accessibility accommodations to easily interact with websites. Making your website accessible isn’t just about legality, but improve your bottom line and including all audiences.
ADA compliance is the law (and it applies to websites!)
Recent rulings in U.S. courts have made website accessibility an imperative. Businesses whose websites don’t meet WCAG standards run the risk of being sued. While ADA guidelines don’t spell out exactly what web guidelines are required, WCAG 2.1 is currently the industry standard.
Our website team here at Murmur Creative can build your site so it meets WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines, without comprising on aesthetics or functionality. We make it easy for visually impaired people to navigate your website with a screen reader. Our design and development process also improves accessible for folks with hearing loss, color blindness, issues of mobility, and many other impairments.
