Website Accessibility Remediation
Remove the Barriers Preventing Someone From Using Your Site
Elevage Digital can help with remediating website accessibility issues that are found on your site. We are experienced with fixing issues on WordPress sites. If your site is built with another platform, we can advise your web development team on how to address any issues. We can also retest once those changes have been made.
What’s Included in Website Remediation?
Remediation may require changes to your content, colors, fonts, themes, templates, and/or plugins in order to fix issues.
Code
Apply the correct HTML tags; add ARIA to communicate additional accessibility details
Colors
Identify and implement high contrast color combinations that work for your brand
Content
Update HTML headings, image alt text and general content structure
Plugins
A curated set of plugins to provide functionality, fixes and testing tools
Divi Theme Remediation
Is your WordPress website built using the Divi theme and page builder? If so, Elevage Digital has created custom plugins to fix Divi-specific accessibility issues. Additional remediation is still required to fix issues that exist based on your specific site content, plugins, and designs.
Ongoing Monitoring and Remediation
Website accessibility is not a “once and done” process. It requires constant adherence to accessibility standards with each new piece of content and functionality that is added to your site. Elevage Digital can provide monthly monitoring and accessibility remediation services to help you maintain WCAG conformance for ADA*, Section 508, and EAA compliance.
*LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Elevage Digital uses current WCAG standards as the guide for website accessibility best practices. However, following these best practices may not automatically result in an ADA-compliant website or compliance with any other laws. Elevage Digital cannot offer legal advice on compliance. Elevage Digital cannot guarantee protection against legal action related to compliance with ADA guidelines for Elevage Digitals’ potential and current customers. Elevage Digital will not be liable for any claims brought against potential or current clients related to ADA compliance; further, Elevage Digital will not be liable for claims related to code or content produced by you or any third party. If you are concerned about legal compliance with ADA guidelines or any other legalities related to your website, you must consult a licensed attorney.
