Avoid Legal Risks by Making Your Website Section 508 Compliant
We understand the need for digital accessibility, and through our Section 508 remediation
services we make your digital documents accessible to everyone, regardless of their
abilities. Our team of experts is dedicated towards providing the best solutions
required by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. We have years of experience and
knowledge in making digital documents accessible and compliant with the latest
accessibility standards.
Section 508 Compliance services can include website audits, accessibility testing,
remediation services, and ongoing maintenance to ensure that digital content remains
accessible to all users. These services are important not only for compliance with the
law but also to ensure that all individuals have equal access to information and
services provided online.
We use the latest tools and technologies to ensure that your documents are not only
accessible but also user-friendly with easy-to-navigate features. With our full time
Section 508 compliance services, you can be rest assured that your digital documents
will meet all accessibility requirements.
Portable Document Format (PDF) is a widely used document format. Many organizations,
including the government, use PDF documents for various purposes. At times, PDF
documents can be challenging for users with disabilities to access and read due to
various factors like image heavy content etc. We use several PDF remediation techniques
to comply with Section 508, such as:
Adding alt text to images
Assessing document structure, including headings, lists, and tables
Make sure font size, typeface and spacing are easy to read
We ensure that with the help of our Section 508 PDF accessibility services, all PDF documents are made
accessible, even for individuals with disabilities.
Code Optimization
We optimize the underlying code of the website or application to make it accessible to
individuals with disabilities, in accordance with Section 508. The code must be
compatible with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard-only
navigation.
Our developers make sure that all interactive elements, such as buttons and links, are
clearly labeled. All functionality can be accessed with only a keyboard, as some users
with physical impairments may be unable to use a mouse.
Website Accessibility Audit
In our accessibility audit services, we perform a web accessibility audit to identify any barriers to
accessibility. It may include a review of the website’s design, layout, content, the use
of color contrast, the availability of alternative text for images, and an evaluation of the
website’s compatibility with assistive technologies.
Our experts review the website’s accessibility policy and guidelines to meet the
requirements of the Section 508 standards to avoid any potential legal liabilities.
Website Accessibility Testing
We test the website content, images, tables, graphs, charts, icons, documents and
multimedia content to ensure they are accessible to people with disabilities. Our
experts perform the testing per Section 508 guidelines to identify accessibility
barriers.
We offer different web testing services such as automated testing, manual
testing, assistive technology testing, user testing, remediation and retesting. By
conducting Section 508 website accessibility testing, organizations deliver a better
user experience for individuals with disabilities.
Document Conversion
We help you convert documents into accessible formats to meet the Section 508 compliance
guidelines, which states that all electronic and information technology developed,
procured and maintained, be accessible to individuals with disabilities. Our document
conversion services follow the process of scanning the document, converting the scanned
document into a text-based format using OCR (optical character recognition), formatting,
remediation, and quality assurance.
We help you convert documents into accessible formats to meet the Section 508 compliance
guidelines, which states that all electronic and information technology developed must
be accessible to individuals with visual, auditory, cognitive, or motor disabilities.
Our experts focus on techniques including text-to-speech conversion, optical character
recognition (OCR), text simplification, and alternative formats.
VPAT Certification
We review a VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) to ensure that it represents
the product’s compliance with Section 508 and the product is accessible to individuals
with disabilities. The VPAT verification process typically involves reviewing the
product documentation, such as user manuals and technical specifications. In our VPAT
verification, we evaluate the product’s compatibility with assistive technologies,
assess the product's usability for individuals with disabilities, test the product, and
provide remediation recommendations.
Training and Consulting
We provide training and consulting services for 508 remediation that can help your
organization to understand and comply with accessibility guidelines. Our training and
consulting services cover topics such as understanding the legal requirements, designing
and coding for accessibility, and testing. We have a team of experts who have experience
in web accessibility and have worked on numerous projects.
508 compliance solutions are legally crucial, but there are a lot of
benefits also. Let’s
check a few of them:
Increase Audience Reach and User Experience
When your company’s digital assets comply with Section 508, you can reach a wider
audience. And, to improve user experience on web pages, the add-on features are
subtitles, zoom-ins, and color compliances.
Increase Organic Search Results
It has been found that when you make your website and digital content accessible, it
increases organic traffic, which eventually leads to improved SEO. It means that the
search engine rankings of the pages improve.
Impress Federal-Aided Organizations
Federal-aided organizations are required to comply with section 508 remediation.
Hence, if your client base can be one of those organizations in the future, ensure
that your website complies with section 508 guidelines to impress them.
Federally aided organizations are required to have innovative 508
compliance solutions regularly. We offer them full-time compliance
services that are perfectly suitable for all types of document formats
and privacy policies.
Ed-tech companies publish a lot of content digitally, and being 508
compliant is mandatory for them. The published content includes
assessment forms, learning videos, study materials, images,
infographics, and more. We are one of the leading 508 compliance
services providers to ed-tech companies across the globe.
We offer all types of accessibility services to several Information
technologies companies. Our services help our clients to grow their
businesses as being 508 compliant assures that their products and
services are accessible to users with disabilities, which increases
their site traffic, resulting in better visibility.
In this step, we gather all the information required for us to proceed
further with 508 remediations.

Section 508 compliance ensures that digital content, such as
websites, software, and documents, such as PDF, Word, Excel, and
PowerPoint, are accessible to people with disabilities as required
by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. This act mandates that all
electronic and information technology (EIT) be accessible to people
with visual, auditory, physical, and cognitive impairments.
There is no specific minimum font size requirement per Section 508
compliance; it is generally recommended that a font size of at least
12 points or larger be used for body text. However, font size
depends on font style, weight, spacing, the user's device, screen
resolution, and viewing distance.
In many countries, it is a mandate to make all your digital content
accessible to 508 compliance to make sure that people with
disabilities can access it with ease. Making your website or
documents compliant with Section 508 helps mitigate legal risks and
increase audience reach.
The cost of getting 508 remediation services depends on the
requirement of the client. In case you would like to take an
estimate of our Section 508 compliance services, contact our
experts. We would be happy to assist you.
