508 Compliance

It's a win-win solution for Website visitors, companies & organizations whose Websites adhere to 508 standards.

Section 508 compliance, also referred to as Web Accessibility

By developing a Website that is Section 508 Compliant you allow those with disabilities to use assistive technologies (i.e. text readers) to view your Website.

Building your Website 508 Compliant will increase your overall ranking in major search engines such as Yahoo and Google, and improve your site's usability by making it easier for all Website visitors to navigate.

Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act in 1998 requiring federal agencies to make their Website's accessible to people with disabilities. Section 508 was enacted to remove online barriers and encourage opportunities for people with disabilities. This has fostered technologies that focus on achieving these goals. The law applies to all federal agencies that use electronic and information technology.

We use the latest Web Development tools that adhere to these standards. As a result, DropLine Design Websites meet Section 508 Compliance Guidelines before they go live.
