  2. WHAT ARE SECTION 508 COMPLIANCE SERVICES? Web development and design must adhere to Section 508 compliance services requirements for accessibility. It guarantees equal access to electronic information and technology (EIT) for people with disabilities. Sadly, studies show that as of 2022, 96.8% of all home pages failed in some way to meet web accessibility standards. This disturbing figure indicates that only slightly more than 3% of all websites are usable by those with impairments. This also implies that many prospective clients are being lost for businesses. Therefore, the fundamentals of Section 508 compliance will be covered in this tutorial, including what it is, why it's important, and how to ensure compliance on your website.

  3. What is the difference between ADA and Section 508? A portion of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is Section 508 compliance services. Creating and using information and communications technology (ICT) accessible to people with disabilities is required by U.S. federal law for federal agencies. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a U.S. civil rights statute, forbids discrimination on the grounds of disability and has been in effect since 1990. The ADA requires equal access to occupations and physical locations and extends to commercial and governmental organizations, making it significantly more extensive than Section 508.

  4. Who does Section 508 apply? Federal agencies are expressly required to comply with 508 compliance services of the law. However, any organization that collaborates with the federal government must also adhere to Section 508 requirements. This comprises numerous businesses in the legal and financial fields, hospitals, and other private contractors. While federal-level Section 508 compliance services are needed, state-level compliance varies. Some states have enacted legislation (called "little 508s") equivalent to Section 508, or they blatantly demand 508 compliance at the state level. Accordingly, depending on the state, entities interested in dealing with either state or local government must adhere to Section 508 or something similar.
