3 Businesses operating for public benefit

4 State and local government agencies

While every business should ensure ADA compliance, our services are especially helpful for:

1 Banks

2 Financial institutions

3 Insurance providers

4 Government websites

5 Ecommerce websites

Video: What is 508 compliance?

The Section 508 legislation is an amendment to the Workforce Rehabilitation Act of 1973, signed into law by President Clinton in 1998. This amendment requires the information technology of Federal Agencies, including websites, to be accessible to those with disabilities.

The burden is on the Federal Agency to maintain the website and ensure users with disabilities have access to and use of information comparable to that of the general public. While the experience may not be exactly the same, all users must be able to access the same information, including images and media files, as well as perform common tasks, such as making a purchase or filling out a form on your site.

If you are a federal institution or a direct vendor to the Federal government, your business must comply with federally regulated guidelines for Section 508, including website accessibility. Tech Sailor 508 Compliance solutions, also called ADA compliant solutions, meet all the accessibility requirements outlined in this legislation. In knowing how to satisfy these conditions, we are able to provide exceptional websites that adhere to the requirements of this act.

ADA vs. 508 compliant website design

Section 508, an amendment to the U.S. Workforce Rehabilitation Act of 1973, is a federal law that requires federal government websites to be safe and accessible for people with disabilities.

While Section 508 only applies to federal agencies, it is best practice to comply with both ADA and 508 standards to provide the best possible experience for all website visitors.

In addition, having a compliant website increases your base of potential customers. Roughly 19% of the population is living with some type of disability, and ensuring your site is accessible to this population is certainly to your company or organization's benefit. Don't miss out on potential sales because your site is not accessible.
