Accessibility

Our “White Glove” Approach

We know you have a website to run and research to conduct. Our process is designed to handle the heavy lifting while keeping you in the loop.

1. Comprehensive Audit
   We don’t just look at the surface. We scan your site’s code, structure, and content to identify every barrier—from broken keyboard navigation to missing ARIA labels.
2. Seamless Remediation
   We offer two distinct paths to compliance:
   • The Modern Upgrade: We can migrate your content to one of our pre-built, accessibility-first themes. This is the fastest way to get a modern look with compliance “baked in.”
   • The Precision Retrofit: Prefer your current design? We can dive into your existing CSS and HTML to fix focus styles, contrast issues, and structural errors without changing your visual identity.
3. Content Concierge (The Image Problem, Solved)
   The biggest hurdle for most sites is Alt Text for images and galleries. We assist you in auditing your media library and implementing descriptive text, ensuring that your visual resources are accessible to everyone.
4. Future-Proofing
   Accessibility isn’t a “one and done” task. We update your modules (such as Events or Portfolios) and provide you with a simple roadmap to ensure any new content stays compliant from day one.

Why It Matters Now

The legal landscape is changing. New federal requirements and University mandates mean that compliance is no longer optional.

• Avoid Legal Risk: Stay ahead of DOJ and OCR requirements.
• Expand Your Reach: Ensure your research and services are available to the millions of users with visual, auditory, or motor impairments.
• Boost SEO: Search engines love accessible sites. Proper structure and Alt Text don’t just help users; they help you rank higher.
