Website Accessibility
Jul 8th, 2024 1:04 amAvallo offers a web accessibility solution designed to help websites comply with accessibility standards such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Here's how it works and why it's crucial to have it installed on a website:
How It Works
The solution uses AI to scan and analyze a website, automatically adjusting the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to ensure that screen readers can correctly interpret the content and that keyboard navigation is smooth and logical. It also generates accurate alt text descriptions for images if they are missing, ensuring that visually impaired users can understand the image content. The solution includes an accessibility interface that allows users to customize the website according to their needs. Users can adjust elements such as font size, color contrast, and more.
Disability Profiles
Users can select from various profiles tailored to different disabilities (e.g., vision impairment, cognitive disorders, motor disabilities), which will automatically adjust the website settings to suit their needs.
Continuous Monitoring
The solution continuously scans the website to ensure ongoing compliance. If new content is added or existing content changes, the AI re-analyzes and adjusts as needed. It provides detailed reports on the website’s accessibility status and any issues that need to be addressed manually.
Why have your website compliant?
Depending on the entity, non-compliance can result in legal actions and fines. Accessibility standards and laws evolve. Our solution helps websites stay compliant with the latest regulations and guidelines. Making a website accessible ensures that people with disabilities can access and use it, increasing the potential user base. Accessibility features often enhance the overall user experience for everyone, including those with temporary disabilities (e.g. a broken arm) and those using mobile devices.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Accessible websites are often better optimized for search engines. Features like alt text for images and proper heading structures improve SEO, potentially increasing traffic. Demonstrating a commitment to accessibility can enhance a company's reputation and show that it values inclusivity and diversity. Our solution can foster loyalty among users who appreciate and rely on the accommodations provided.
Overall, Avallo can provide an efficient and effective solution for ensuring web accessibility, benefiting website owners and users.
