What is ADA Compliance?

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ensures that people with disabilities have equal access to digital content. WCAG 2.1 AA is the technical standard we follow.

Key Principles:
  • Perceivable: Information must be presentable in ways users can perceive
  • Operable: Interface components must be operable by all users
  • Understandable: Information and UI operation must be understandable
  • Robust: Content must be robust enough for various assistive technologies
