Accessible Website Rebuild Services

Between the expense and the wait, sometimes it doesn’t make financial or practical sense to audit and remediate a website. Whether it’s due to outdated technology or significant structural code issues, for some clients, we recommend a fresh start with a completely accessible website rebuild.

The great news for clients is this can be a significant value-add to making their website ADA compliant.

With our accessible website rebuild service, clients get the following items in addition to a WCAG 2.2 AA conformant website:

• Onsite SEO: we optimize your website to be more search-engine friendly website.
• Modern redesign: your web design will be revitalized with a brand new, fresh look.
• Intuitive CMS: your website’s backend dashboard will make it easier to add and edit content.

If you were already considering any of the above improvements, opting for a rebuild that comes with WCAG 2.2 AA conformance effectively integrates these enhancements at no additional cost.

Note that WCAG 2.2 AA not only includes, but exceeds WCAG 2.1 AA and WCAG 2.0 AA because WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria (requirements) build on top of the previous versions.
