Internet For All
SimpleFly is committed to ensuring that the Internet is for everyone, not just the non-disabled. That’s why we’ve started offering our clients an easy path to web accessibility. According to the CDC, 26% of adults living in the U.S. have some form of disability. That includes blind and deaf people, people with motor and cognitive disabilities, and a rapidly aging population encountering muscle weakness, memory loss and all the other consequences of senescence. All too often, people with disabilities are rarely able to enjoy the same online experiences as people without disabilities. Imagine life today without the convenience, productivity and resources the internet has to offer. That’s the reality for so many people with disabilities.
Not Being AccessibleCan Cost You
Web accessibility is crucial! If your website isn’t accessible, you’re potentially shutting out 1 in 4 visitors to your site. That’s over 25% of the population that can’t browse your site, and a huge loss in potential business and income.
You’re also opening your business up to costly lawsuits. In 2018 there were over 10,000 federal cases regarding websites that were not WCAG 2.1, ADA or s508 compliant. In California alone there were 4,249 cases. That’s a 54% increase in from 2017 to 2018 – and it’s not showing any signs of slowing down. These lawsuits can mean financial ruin for smaller businesses, with settlements ranging from $5,000 to $75,000 per instance until the site is made compliant.
A Simple Solution
Traditionally, making a website fully accessible has been a costly and time consuming endeavor. Fortunately, we offer a completely automated solution that will ensure your website is accessible and compliant with strict WCAG 2.1, ADA and s508 compliance guidelines within 48 hours. And while other accessibility service providers such as AudioEye and User1st charge anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000 a year to make your site accessible, our solution costs only a fraction of that!
Our unique application utilizes a two pronged approach to making your website fully accessible. On the front-end, our accessibility interface enables users to adjust the design and UI of your website, so it perfectly meets their accessibility needs according to WCAG 2.1, ADA and s508 guidelines. On the back-end, we utilize AI technology to handle the most challenging aspects of web accessibility – screen-reader and keyboard navigation adjustments for the blind and the motor impaired. And because our solution is constantly scanning your site files, you have the peace of mind of knowing that any future website updates such as blog posts and page edits are automatically compliant as well.
