Can visitors with disabilities use your website?

While not mandated for public companies, building a Section 508 compliant website offers accessibility to the 54 million disabled people in the US alone. And that’s not all! A Section 508 compliant website greatly improves search engine visibility to help you achieve your SEO goals. Furthermore, when Magic Logix programs and validates the compliant website against HTML, XHTML and CSS standards, the website is available to other devices, such as mobile phones and PDAs.

Federal institutions and direct vendors to the federal government must satisfy 16 specific conditions to ensure that a mobility-impaired or blind person can use the site.

"Fully accessible" websites give people with disabilities the ability to…

• Use them effectively
• Access features such as images and media files
• Complete common tasks including buy merchandise and fill out forms

Section 508, a 1998 amendment to the Workforce Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires that all federal agencies must configure and maintain web information to ensure that disabled users have easy access and use of the same information that is available to the public.
