Website Accessibility + Compliance

In our digital-first world, ensuring your website is accessible to all patients isn't just a legal necessity—it’s a cornerstone of exceptional care. An accessible website allows individuals with disabilities to effortlessly navigate, find essential information, and book appointments with your practice.

​

Why Your Practice Needs a Website Accessibility Audit:

• Ensure Legal Compliance: With strict regulations like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in place, making your site accessible helps you avoid potential legal issues and costly penalties.

• Enhance Patient Experience: Accessibility is about inclusivity. By catering to patients with visual, auditory, or cognitive impairments, you build trust and loyalty, ensuring everyone feels welcome.

• Boost Your SEO: Many accessibility improvements, such as better alt text for images, also enhance your search engine optimization (SEO), making your website easier to find.

• Expand Your Reach: Over 61 million adults in the U.S. live with a disability. Optimizing your site for accessibility means connecting with a broader patient base.

• Accessible Forms and PDFs: Redesigning forms and downloadable content for easy use by all, including those with assistive technology.

• Clear, Structured Content: Organizing your site’s content with proper headings and labels for easier comprehension.

• Audio & Video Transcriptions: Offering transcripts and captions for multimedia to ensure accessibility for patients with hearing impairments.
