AODA Compliance

WCAG 2.1 AA

In addition to compliance, our approach to accessibly is infused in our user experience. Our team is very diverse, we believe that everyone can benefit from accessibility. As such, we categorized our audience into the following segments:

• Permanent - Those requiring lifelong accommodations. For example, someone who was born and lives with a visual impairment. These users are often well training in assistive technologies.
• Temporary - Those requiring temporary accommodations. For example, someone who has had corrective eye surgery and will regain sight. These users often have limited training in assistive technologies.
• Age-related - Those who have a degenerative condition that leads to the requirement of accommodations over time.
• Circumstantial - Those who use the comfort of accessible supports in everyday life. For example, using captions on a video you’re watching because your environment is too loud to hear the audio. Or, activating screen reader while you’re multitasking with your busy family.

Every member on our team is trained in accessible design, content creation and development. Our training informs our process and development through every decision we make.

We supplement our expert skill with Artificial Intelligence to bring an elevated level of quality in our delivered product.

What we can offer:

• Website development that meets AODA compliance.
• Launch with the reassurance that your site has been scanned and verified by third party tools.
• Expert audit and review.
• Training for content editors.
• Integrated widget powered by AI for end user comfort.
• Accessibility statement and certification.

The AODA requires that all municipalities be in compliance with their website’s accessibility infrastructure, but you may be missing critical aspects of your obligations with out even being aware.

We offer you a leading, automated game-changer in web accessibility, through our accessWidget partnership. 

• Our AI tool will simplify and streamline the process of identifying missing portions of your compliance obligations using the power of AI technology.
• AccessiBe’s AI is responsible for handling the more complex accessibility adjustments, such as screen-reader optimization and keyboard navigation. 
• The automated nature allows for these backend adjustments to be done efficiently, affordably, and within reasonable timeframes.
• Through a 5-step streamlined process, our powerful AI tool assists you in meeting ALL your municipal compliance requirements. 

Failing to meet accessibility compliance obligations could result in fines under the AODA, where corporations can be fined up to $100,000 per day, and directors and officers of a corporation or organization can be fined up to $50,000 per day.

You will be sent an "Accessibility Statement & Certificate" PDF by email that has been built right into the widget, indicating the remediations your website has undergone.
