Web accessibility. What is it?
Let’s start there.
Web accessibility is a set of rules, behaviors, code standards and design guidelines, that are meant to allow people with disabilities to effectively use websites. They were created by the W3C and are called the WCAG 2.1.
Would we suggest reading and learning all things WCAG 2.1?
oh hell no.
It is a massive 1,000-page guidebook that encapsulates a range of disabilities that go from hindering internet use to making internet use impossible without adjustments.

Why now?
WHY NOT NOW?
Covid meant being at home. A LOT. It meant less access to physical locations and amenities, which we all found a huge inconvenience. Imagine if you were someone who couldn’t access those services online?
That’s not just inconvenient. That’s a whole new level to quarantining. You would be literally cut off from accessing essential services.
Ready to roll? We can get your site accessible within 48 hours. No BS.

How it works
OK, so let’s dive into the features:
We achieve compliance by leveraging two components.
The first is our accessibility interface that is responsible for handling the UI, design and cognitive-related adjustments. This interface is structured by disability profiles and enhancement features. That way, users with different disabilities can simply select the profile that best suits their needs. Among these profiles, you’ll find; an epilepsy safe profile, a visually impaired profile, cognitive disability profile, ADHD friendly profile.
This interface is also fully customizable and can be fitted to your websites brand and design.
The second is our AI, machine learning-powered process, that handles keyboard navigation adjustments for the motor-impaired and blind people’s screen-readers. A screen-reader is a software used by blind people to operate computers and websites and it’s installed on the operating system. It basically reads aloud the content focused on the screen, and it also helps with navigation and orientation aspects. Adjustments to those screen-readers are what the legislation requires.
accessiBe handles all on-site aspects using a “Contextual Understanding” AI technology that is responsible for remediating menus, drop-downs, pop-ups, forms, icons, buttons, and all other elements by applying the appropriate screen-reader text and website behaviors.
To automatically provide accurate alternative texts for images, also known as alt tags, our solution utilizes IRIS and OCR technologies to scan and learn the objects as well as the text that is embedded within the image.
By the way, everything I mentioned is fully supported in 14 different languages.
