Capitol Tech Solutions marked the 31st anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act with a month-long web content campaign promoting ADA website compliance.

Leading up to the July 26 anniversary date, the Sacramento-based digital transformation firm published comprehensive reports on the importance of equitable web browsing for the business and government communities.

“Digital accessibility has become increasingly important as technology continues to advance,” said Capitol Tech Solutions’ CEO Bobby Reed. “I’m proud of the work we’ve done to make the websites of our government and business clients more inclusive for everyone.”

Signed into law by President George H.W. Bush in 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits discrimination based on disabilities and guarantees equitable treatment in public accommodation, employment, transportation, and community living.

The U.S. Department of Justice, federal and state court cases have expanded the meaning of public accommodation to include government and business websites.

People with disabilities interact with websites through assistive technologies, such as screen readers, alternative keyboards or switches, braille and refreshable braille, screen magnifiers, sound notification, scanning software, voice recognition, and more.

The Digital Marketing Team at Capitol Tech Solutions ensures the company’s web clients meet ADA website compliance standards.

An ADA-compliant website must meet criteria set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) known as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Through the Section 508 Amendment to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the federal government requires all national electronic information to be accessible to people with disabilities. This mandate extends to existing or new government websites and uses WCAG as the standard.

Web Developers Certified in Section 508

Capitol Tech Solutions enrolls its web developers in ADA website compliance training to better serve its clients.

Che-Hung Liu, a graphic designer and web developer who’s been with the company since 2016, has completed several courses offered by the GSA Government-wide IT Accessibility Program.

Che uses industry-leading techniques learned from his Section 508 accessibility courses to make client websites digitally accessible.
