ADA Compliant Website Design That Works for Everyone
Your website should work for every visitor, including people who navigate with a screen reader, a keyboard or screen magnification. ALINE builds accessible business and nonprofit websites to WCAG 2.1 AA standards for organizations across Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina, then helps keep them accessible as your content grows.
Why Accessibility Belongs in Your Website Plan
Accessibility affects who can use your website, how search engines read it and how much risk you carry. Building it in from the start is far simpler than fixing it after launch.
Reach Every Visitor
Many people browse with a screen reader, keyboard navigation or zoom. Clear structure, readable contrast and descriptive alt text let them find what they need and contact you, and they make the site easier for everyone else to use too.
Support Your Search Visibility
Accessible sites share much of what search engines look for: logical headings, descriptive links and text alternatives for images. Getting those details right serves visitors using assistive technology and supports your search engine optimization at the same time.
Reduce Your Legal Risk
Websites that serve the public are expected to be accessible under the ADA, and WCAG 2.1 AA is the most widely used set of web accessibility guidelines for measuring it. Building to that standard and documenting the work puts you on firmer ground.
Accessible by Design
Accessibility is part of every ALINE website build
Accessibility shapes our custom website design and development from the first design cocept. We plan heading structure, color contrast and form labels into the design, then test every site with accessibility tools before it goes live so problems are caught before your visitors find them.
Kept Accessible
Regular audits and training for the people who update your site
A website changes every time someone adds a page, a photo or a PDF, and any of those changes can introduce new barriers. For ALINE clients, we run monthly accessibility audits that pair automated scans with manual review and assistive technology testing, and we train your team to publish accessible content.
How We Build for Accessibility
Accessibility works best as a routine that continues after launch. Here is how we handle it for every website we build and actively manage.
Plan
We set WCAG 2.1 AA as the target for your project and map out structure, navigation, color and content needs before design begins.
Build
Our designers and developers apply accessible patterns throughout, from semantic HTML and labeled forms to visible focus states and text alternatives for images.
Test
Before launch, we check every page with accessibility testing tools and a manual review, then fix what we find.
Maintain
After launch, regular audits and content training help your site stay accessible as your team adds pages, images and documents.
