Ecomback works with website owners, designers and developers to remediate their websites and make them accessible for all users.
[Person coding on a website]
In today’s digital world. Most business owners use technology platforms like Shopify, WordPress, Magento Square and Wix to build their websites. They expect that these platforms will have all the bases covered.
[People from all walks of life working on their businesses]
But when it comes to accessibility, no platform is natively accessible and making matters more complex are a variety of third party apps that may introduce accessibility problems.

This leaves businesses exposed to litigation because most people aren’t even aware of digital accessibility requirements or how to meet them.
[A team of people working at Ecomback]
Ecomback is a team of accessibility experts helping businesses discover and remove any digital barriers.

Our approach is simple.
[Audit, free: Automated & Manual Testing]
First, we audit. We conduct a free assessment of your website that includes both automated and manual testing using web content accessibility guidelines.

[Fix, Code: We fix the code & visual design. Content: Images, videos, PDFs]
Second, our developers fix issues in the source code and design while our content team helps you fix alt text for images, adds captions and transcripts for videos and remediates PDFs or forms for accessibility.
Third, we certify.

People with certain disabilities such as blindness will check your website for usability on screen recorded calls.
[Animation of Ecomback final website accessibility report]
Once your website is accessible according to international standards, we make a final report with a list of the changes we made and any other areas that need work which are usually caused by third party apps or bugs in the platform. We also add a lawyer drafted accessibility statement and a badge on your website to show that people with disabilities regularly test and approve it. This helps show your commitment to inclusivity and accessibility.
[Train & Monitor: Providing ongoing maintenance services to ensure website accessibility. Empowering team with testing for accessibility in updates and improvements.]
Finally, we train and empower you to keep accessibility a core consideration each time your team adds pages, widgets, or apps to your website.

While it is tempting to install an app that promises to make your website accessible with an overlay or widget, they often don’t work and can’t solve basic issues like keyboard navigation barriers.

Last year, approximately 20% of digital accessibility lawsuits were filed against websites that use such tools to offer accessibility options.

What are Legal Issues for Non-Compliant Sites?
This could mean anything from a fine to a lawsuit. If your website is not currently ADA compliant, it’s essential to take steps as soon as possible to avoid such a situation.
Some members of Congress are trying to push through legislation such as H.R. 1100 — 117th Congress: Online Accessibility Act to create clear and better standards for businesses to follow.
What is WCAG?
To address this need for accessibility, W3C has created Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) which are widely recognized as the international standard to follow.
WCAG 2.1 is an update to the previous versions of WCAG, and it aims to make online content more accessible for a broader range of people with disabilities.
ADA website compliance signifies that your site meets the standards set by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and World Wide Web Consortium’s technical guidelines for websites.
How to Test Your Website for ADA and WCAG Compliance?
2) Screen Readers: Screen readers allow users who are blind or have low vision to hear all of the content on your website. This requires proper alt-text
and other content tagging.
3) Keyboard Navigation: Keyboard navigation is an essential aspect of web accessibility. Correct ordering and focus indicators allow users to navigate
a website more easily.
4) Closed Captions: Captions are necessary to make videos and audio content accessible for people with hearing impairment.
5) Text-Zoom: Text zoom offers a way for people who are blind or have low vision to read the text more accessible by increasing its size.
6) Color Contrast: Ratio: Text and interactive elements should have a color contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1. There are various tools that designers can use
to address these issues, along with overlays and widgets such as UserWay.
