We Build ADA Section 508 Compliant Websites
Our entire team at Business Xposure keeps ADA Section 508 in mind when developing websites, creating applications, producing videos, and downloadable documents. Section 508 is part of the US Rehabilitation Act, which requires that information and communications technology is accessible to people with disabilities. It is important that the web and supporting applications that are in production or being developed are accessible by everyone.
As a business owner, you are obligated to ensure your digital assets are compliant and usable for people with disabilities, especially with all the lawsuits, rulings, and demand letters that are currently happening. A recent study finds that over 90% of home pages have accessibility problems, meaning the page is not coded properly for screen readers and other accessibility tools.
Business Xposure designs, develops, and optimizes websites and applications that align to the Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.2 standards by W3.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 57 million Americans have a disability. Incorporating Accessibility code into your websites and applications improves brand loyalty and most importantly removes user barriers to your content and services. Other benefits of Accessible websites are that they create a better user experience and enhances your Search Engine Position and Ranking.

Text readers
Text readers help people who may have learning disabilities, or users simply want the content read to them at a faster speed to save time. Screen readers allow users to select page copy from websites, and the technology can read that content out loud to them.

Computer stations are equipped with a line of braille characters that dynamically raise and lower pins for computers that incorporate Braille displays. Many accessibility standards require that this capability is incorporated into applications.
