Accessibility & Compliance Engine – Serve Every Customer & Protect Your Business

In today’s digital world, a professional website must be inclusive and transparent. Web accessibility, which means ensuring people with disabilities can use your site, is not only the right thing to do, but it’s also increasingly a legal expectation for businesses. At the same time, protecting your business and building customer trust requires clear, professionally drafted legal policies that outline how you handle user data and conduct business.

The Accessibility & Compliance Engine addresses these critical needs head-on. We implement tools and best practices to make your website more compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), the standard for ADA compliance online. This opens your digital front door to a wider audience of potential customers. Simultaneously, we generate and install the foundational legal pages every modern business needs.

By proactively addressing accessibility and legal compliance, you demonstrate that you are a forward-thinking, responsible company that cares about serving your entire community. This Engine is a fundamental step in protecting your business from potential legal risks and building a deeper layer of trust with every person who visits your site.

The SiteEngine Difference
A compliant and accessible website is a non-negotiable aspect of modern business, yet it's an area most web designers overlook. Our approach is to treat accessibility and legal compliance as a foundational part of a professional build, not an afterthought. We don't just install a plugin; we implement a comprehensive strategy to make your site more inclusive and to protect your business with the essential legal frameworks required to operate online today.
  • Accessibility Auditing & Best Practices: We begin by using modern scanning tools to perform an audit of your website's accessibility. Based on the results, we implement development best practices, such as ensuring proper heading structures, link descriptions, and keyboard navigation focus.

We then install these on your site and link them in your footer, providing a solid legal foundation. (We always recommend having your own legal counsel review any policy documents.)
