Introducing Web Accessibility: A Solution Designed with Everyone in Mind
Did you know that currently, an estimated 1.3 billion people across the world experience a significant disability? That's right - the World Health Organization estimates that approximately "16% of the world's population, or 1 in 6 of us" is affected by some form of disability. When thinking specifically of web accessibility compliance, accessibility laws such as ADA and Section 508 aim to promote a standard of disability inclusion that assists website users from all disability backgrounds to be able to interact with the content on websites.
Here at Clym, it is our mission to help make your website as accessible and safe for every one of your website visitors as possible. Our accessibility feature allows your users to select from a range of pre-set profiles, designed to assist with specific disabilities, such as ADHD or Dyslexia, or to make their own content, color, and navigation adjustments to make your website more easily digestible with more accessible web content.
