Portsmouth VA Implements AudioEye Accessibility Solution for Website
Summary
PORTSMOUTH, Va., March 8, 2018 (Newswire.com) - In the past, digital administrators responsible for the maintenance of an organization’s website had to manually comb through text, pictures, links and other elements to ensure all content met the standards of accessibility for persons with disabilities.Today, the City of Portsmouth has implemented AudioEye, an industry-leading software that enables both public and private sector entities to make their content more user-friendly through technology.With the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990, businesses, federal, local and state governments have made major changes in how business is conducted, so that people with varying kinds of disabilities can easily access buildings, streets, public transportation, office workstations, etc.“While we were monitoring the conversations regarding ADA compliance impacting federal websites, we reached out to our CivicPlus account manager to ask if there was an integrated solution that could be incorporated into our current platform.” AudioEye was the answer.It provides enhanced ADA-related digital accessibility to its local government website design clients that utilize the CivicEngage® content management system (CMS).
