Ensuring website accessibility:
Iin the last recent months A group of 10 Democratic senators, led by Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, asked the Justice Department to ensure that websites and other digital services offered by state and local governments are complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Technology Crest can be your one stop shop for your Accessibility requirements.
Digital content encompasses documents, video, multimedia, and websites allowing equal access to everyone despite one’s disability. People with disabilities rely on assistive technologies to interpret the content and provide them the needed info. Digital Accessibility aims to provide website content in a manner to people with disabilities that their experience is similar to people without disabilities. Providing accessible digital content requires an approach with accessibility in mind without compromising the look and feel part of the webpages.
Accessibility features enable people with disabilities to perceive, understand, navigate and interact with the environment that encourages inclusiveness. It is not OK to say to people with disabilities that they cannot access or understand the content. We at TCrest endeavor to provide equal access to all.
