Accessible Web Solutions
Upanup is a leader in accessibility (also known as a11y) and user experience (UX) research. We take a user-focused approach to create solutions that are accessible to all and we provide support to our clients for creating compliant content for their audiences.
What is Web Accessibility?
The Internet is made up of users with different abilities, impairments, and contexts. Web accessibility refers to ensuring websites, technology and content are created so that everyone can comprehend, operate, understand and use information and services online. Some examples include websites that can be navigated by keyboards or assistive devices, ensuring images have alternative text where necessary, and content is clearly organized with logical headings. Governments are increasingly implementing laws to encourage organizations to provide websites and content that are accessible to everyone (e.g. AODA, B.C. Accessibility Act, Manitoba Accessibility Legislation, and Americans with Disabilities Act).
