CURRENT STATISTICS
Making web accessibility a priority is the smart thing to do. The Internet is where everything happens. Can imagine your life without it? And accessing your website should be for everyone, regardless of their abilities.
Firstly due to the increased use of the Internet, the United States has added web accessibility into existing civil rights legislation that protects people with disabilities. This includes the ADA, AODA, EEA, and many more.
Similarly in 2018, the DOJ clarified that websites are considered places of public accommodation and should therefore comply with the ADA Title III. US courts refer to WCAG 2.1 AA as the accessibility standard.
Next inaccessible websites are at risk of litigation and there has been a 300% increase in legal actions since 2018. The exponential growth in web accessibility lawsuits has a widespread effect across industries, with small and medium businesses in the center of the storm. Soon lawsuit numbers are estimated to continue to increase as the need to enable accessible digital experiences becomes more prominent.
Here’s how it works
Marcy Design offers an online solution that utilizes two applications that together achieve compliance. The accessibility interface is responsible for all the UI and design-related adjustments, while the AI-powered background process handles the more complex requirements, such as optimization for screen-readers and for keyboard navigation.
Overall the interface is a session-based design and UI adjustment tool that makes accessibility modifications based on a user's individual needs. All adjustments are compliant with WCAG 2.1 AA & AAA requirements.
Equally AI machine learning technology uses contextual understanding and computer vision to address the complex, back-end requirements needed for screen reader and keyboard navigation modifications based on a user's individual needs.
Furthermore this software enables website owners to serve users with a wide array of disabilities all in adherence to the WCAG 2.1 and worldwide legislation
