Accessible websites are key to ensuring that everyone can access legal services and resources online
Web accessibility is an essential aspect of digital content creation. Integrating accessibility checks and audits in your design process can help ensure that your website is compliant with Section 508 and the American Disabilities Act. This is especially important for organizations, institutions, and professionals in the legal space that represent some of the most vulnerable and marginalized members of our community.
Creating an accessible website can be a daunting task, but we're here to help

We'll conduct a thorough review of your website to identify the largest accessibility barriers. We will review every page of your website outlining accessibility issues relating to color contrast, broken links, alternative text, and heading levels.
Remediation & Maintenance
We provide recommendations for remediation. We can work with you to remediate the largest accessibility issues on your website or work with your preferred web developers. We also offer regular audits of the site to ensure your website remains accessible and compliant.
Let's dive into our areas of expertise
Color-Contrast
Color-contrast checks involve determining that the contrast ratio between text and background colors meets the minimum accessibility standards.
Alt-Text
Alternative text is a description of an image that is read aloud by screen readers. All non-text elements such as images and media should have corresponding text for those with challenges engaging with visual information.
Broken Links
Links are one of the main elements ready by screen readers. Voice over software will read aloud the destination of a link before taking a user there. It is important to make sure all links are live and have intuitive destinations.
Heading Levels
Organized heading levels make it easier for screen readers and users with visual impairments to follow the information on a page and scan the site for important content.
Plain Language
Website content that is free of complex legal terms or jargon and maintains a 5th grade reading level enables clearer information for users with varying levels of literacy and legal knowledge.
