SoSimple Partners with accessiBe to Offer Clients an Automated Website Accessibility Solution
March 30th, 2023
SoSimple has partnered with accessiBe to provide clients with an automated solution that ensures that their websites meet compliance requirements for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Website accessibility has become a pressing topic, as many users are reliant on assistive technology to navigate the web. Plus there are legal considerations that all clients must consider. By the power of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), every business website has to be accessible to people with disabilities. The Law prohibits discrimination based on disability by places of “public accommodation”, meaning websites or brick-and-mortar facilities. People with disabilities, specifically those who are blind or visually impaired, have been filing lawsuits against businesses over website accessibility issues, and many of them were winning.
To help bridge this gap, SoSimple has teamed up with accessiBe. This AI automated system that can achieve full ADA compliance within 48 hours and provides 24/7 automatic maintenance. When installed, this is a fully automated tool will re-scan and re-analyze a website every 24 hours to maintain ADA and WCAG compliance within any new content or pages that are added. This is by far the most simple, automated and affordable solution that we have found. After reviewing their system and testing it on our own website, we have decided to offer the same solution to our clients.
