508 Compliancy


SECTION 508 of the amended Rehabilitation Act of 1998 extends to cyberspace the same legal guarantees of access that all physical public amenities must provide. The law requires that new Federal websites make their content and function available to people with motor, visual, or auditory disabilities.

HeiTech Services endeavors to make its products accessible to all users, regardless of ability, browser, or connection speed by utilizing:

  • Alternative text for images and script elements and consistent navigation across an entire site.
  • Keystroke alternatives for non-mouse users.
  • Display adjustments, such as color selection, contrast, and flash rate.
  • The latest authoring tools to create information products which present in depth content in elegant formats, without dense graphics.
  • Section 508 and usability tools, such as Bobby.

HeiTech designers and programmers strive for Level AA conformance or better for all of our solutions, including regular auditing to assess compliance and accessibility. We can also perform analysis on existing sites to develop methodologies and a detailed plan for making your web site more accessible.
