Growing Risk of Website Accessibility Litigation
Equal Access and Equal Opportunities

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
Launched in 2008, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) accessibility Standards provide actionable guides and resources for companies and organizations to make websites accessible to users with disabilities.
The WCAG accessibility standards have three compliance levels:
Level A
If a website is accessible to some users
Level AA
If the website is accessible to most of its users
Level AAA
If the website is accessible to all users including people with some disabilities
POUR Principles
There are four important guiding principles of accessibility on which the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is created. These principles are referred to by POUR as Perceptible, Operable, Understandable, and Robust. POUR is the way to approach web accessibility. Many of the technology challenges faced by people with disabilities can be described with these POUR principles.
Perceivable
Many users found it difficult to perceive a system primarily visually, OR maybe with sound or touch. Your website’s user must be able to perceive the web content.
Operable
Users should be able to operate all the components and navigate them with various tools.
Understandable
Making content readable and predictable by using clear and easy-to-understand instructions.
Robust
Your website content must be accessible by various user mediums, mobile devices, web browsers, and AT.
How We Test For Website Accessibility
We use robust assessment to evaluate your website when it is still in process to check whether it complies with applicable regulations. This ensures an optimal level of accuracy during the testing phase.
WAVE
It identifies problems and provides a solution to fix them. In addition, it provides accessibility information with error icons and indicators on the web page.
WebAim
Use it to check your text and background colors to ensure that the component complies with the WCAG standards.

A free screen reader for Windows. It has a focus highlight feature that helps developers track focus objects on the screen.

Think360 was a lifesaver. I had a bad experience with another web developer, and then I found Think360. They offered me a very reasonable price for my web development project. They were very responsive and showed me lots of progress throughout the whole project. I am very picky because I am a designer, and they always complete my picky changes with no complaints. I will be continuing to do work with them because they are so reliable, and do a great job. My website looks great on desktop, mobile, and iPads. Thanks again, Think360!

I have worked with Prince Pal and Think360 team for a year now. We have designed and built several websites together. We have also discussed ways of growing my online business here in Switzerland, which is proving very helpful today. The think360 team and Prince Pal have shown themselves to be fast, efficient, and friendly partners to work with. They have provided unwavering support in solving all technical challenges facing us. Prince Pal has also provided support and counsel in marketing matters and helped me think about my business targets and how to reach them. Despite the long-distance (Switzerland – India), the daily collaboration has proved very dynamic and fruitful and I hope to be able to maintain good work with think360 in the future.

FAQ's
"The important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." - Einstein.
What is “Universal Design”?
Universal design involves creating products or environments that are usable by everyone to the greatest extent possible without a layer of customization.
Does accessible design apply to more than just the appearance of a website?
Yes. Accessible design involves more than just considering the visual elements of your website. Our designers consider the functionality of users with different types of disabilities, then they implement methods and digital tools that work to meet those needs.
What are the best colors to use in the accessible design?
The contrast between the colors or the background is more important than the colors used in your design. But only colors alone should not be used to convey information. Avoid shiny elements that have a saturated red color.
Is Accessible Web Design All About Making My Website Accessible?
No. Accessible web design is a key component of web accessibility, but it's only part of the story. Often, web developers build additional functionality into accessible web design features to help different groups of users overcome different situations and challenges.
What are some functional advantages of accessible web design?
Accessible design goes beyond helping the blind and visually impaired. For example, the inclusion of user controls in the image carousel helps ensure that the carousel animation does not negatively affect concentration for users with cognitive or neurological impairments. Another example is maintaining a logical hierarchy of headings and font sizes at the bottom of the page, which also supports users with cognitive impairments.
Does web accessibility negatively affect a great web design?
Of course not. Accessible web design will make your website look clean, making it easy to navigate for every user, especially those with disabilities. Ease of use is key to good design, so web accessibility actually makes web design better.
Is it Expensive to Build an Accessible Webpage?
No - it is not expensive. Save time and money in the long run by taking the time to think about accessibility issues in the design phase and employ basic testing during development. It's easier to fix a problem than to copy it on every page of the website.
Does web accessibility only benefit blind people?
No - The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) provide principles and guidelines to help make websites accessible to a wide range of people. This includes people who are blind, but also people with other vision, hearing, mobility, and cognitive disabilities.
Beyond accessibility for the blind or visually impaired, what are some other benefits of accessible web design?
There are many, but one example is user controls in the image carousel, which helps ensure that the carousel animation does not negatively affect concentration for users with cognitive or neurological impairments. Another example is maintaining a logical hierarchy of headings and font sizes at the bottom of the page, which also supports users with cognitive impairments.
How do I know whether my website is accessible or not?
You can test whether your website has accessibility issues by using a combination of manual and automated accessibility tests.
