ABOUT THE CERTIFICATION


In order to recieve this Certified Accessible site seal, this company agreed to a comprehensive review of its website based on a representative sample of web pages. This review was conducted by programmers and accessibility analysts who are blind and visually impared,using JAWS, NVDA, Zoom Text and other accessibility software. A report was then created which flagged and documented any barriers to accessibility based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 AA (WCAG 2.0 AA) - a technical standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium to help make sites more accessible. Once these issues were remediated, the site was retested and deemed accessible in accordance with the WCAG 2.0 AA standard. Typically a site will undergo several iterations of remediation before coming into full compliance.
