Edlio Website Accessibility
ADA, WCAG, Section 504 and 508, website accessibility - these are all top of mind for many schools and districts. But what does ADA (the Americans with Disabilities Act) have to do with your website?
It's all about making sure the content of your website is accessible to all visitors. Just as ADA has made it easier for those with disabilities to navigate the physical world, it also applies to how users with visual and physical disabilities access your website's content. Today, we have Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and Section 508 Standards to serve as guidance for how to do just that.
Edlio is committed to providing a platform for accessible websites that meet Section 508 guidelines and Level AA conformance to WCAG 2.1.
As your CMS website platform and provider, we will work with you to ensure your website is accessible.
When thinking about a CMS platform, we know you need a partner that addresses accessibility beyond the initial launch. That's why Edlio has built-in tools for you to manage your site's content accessibility.
