How to build websites everyone can use, and what the law now expects.
A website is now the front door for most businesses, nonprofits and local governments, and for millions of people that door is still locked. Text too faint to read, images with no description, forms a screen reader can't follow and menus that only work with a mouse keep people with disabilities from information and services everyone else gets in a click.
This section covers how to build websites that work for everyone, and what the law now expects. We follow the standards that matter: the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), the ADA's Title II rule for state and local governments, Section 504 requirements for health care providers, and the lawsuits shaping what Title III means for private businesses. Every article is sourced, dated and updated when the rules change.
You'll also find practical guidance on the work itself: fixing the most common accessibility errors, choosing tools and vendors that don't create new ones, and building accessibility into routine site maintenance instead of treating it as a one-time project.
We write from experience. Kosmic Edge builds and maintains websites for businesses, boroughs, townships and authorities across the Lehigh Valley, Bucks and Montgomery counties and New Jersey, and accessibility is part of every one.
