Web Accessibility Road Map
Monkee-Boy Web Design, Inc. (Monkee-Boy) is committed to ensuring that the information and technology it creates or provides in conducting its activities is accessible in accordance with applicable law (including Sections 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended.) In addition, Monkee-Boy endeavors that web based content adhere to WCAG 2.1 level AA.
Conformance status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Monkee-Boy's website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level A.
We are actively working to upgrade portions of our site that are currently not accessible and will continue to do so moving forward to reach and sustain accessibility conformance.
How we support accessibility
Monkee-Boy takes the following measures to enable accessibility practices:
- Incorporating accessibility as part of our mission statement.
- Investing in continual web accessibility training for our staff.
- Assigning clear accessibility targets and responsibilities to further the company's shared knowledge.
- Educating prospective clients and the greater community on the value of web accessibility.
- Recommending inclusion of web accessibility as a requirement of every project.
- Employing formal accessibility quality assurance methods for all client sites and recommending ongoing web accessibility conformance testing to ensure the highest level of ongoing inclusivity.
Our roadmap to greater inclusivity
Monkee-Boy’s website is currently undergoing a partial redesign to deliver a more inclusive online experience. Monkee-Boy’s goal is to deliver an experience that meets or exceeds the WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines by the end of Q3 2020. The following is a list of planned activity and estimated delivery:
- Redesign Non-accessible Elements: Q1 2020
- Development Initiated: Q1 2020
- Development Completed: Q3 2020
- Testing & Quality Assurance: Q3 2020
- Estimated Launch: No later than Q4 2020 assuming additional issues do not require remediation.
