Accessibility Auditing
Public services must be accessible to all Georgians of all abilities. We offer accessibility auditing to ensure your digital content, including websites and mobile and web applications, meet federal and state standards.
Need help with accessibility compliance?
Working with our partners at AccessGA and Georgia's ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Coordinator's Office, we offer accessibility audits. We use automated and manual testing methods to detect and evaluate a range of platforms, browsers, and devices your constituents use.
We Comply With Section 508
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) have three levels to meet the needs of different groups:
- A (lowest)
A, the most basic level of accessibility, impacts a broad range of disabilities. The criteria doesn't focus on any one type of disability in particular but is a starting point for presentation logic and readability. - AA (standard)
AA is a widely used level of accessibility and significantly impacts users, including some with specific disabilities. This standard is the basis of Georgia's system. Optimizing code, font, and color combinations for screen readers helps those with low vision. - AAA (highest)
The highest level focuses on specific disabilities. Some improvements may be difficult or expensive to implement depending on need. However, our system already meets many of these higher requirements.
As part of GovHub, the system code on your site meets the WCAG 2.2 (Level AA) accessibility requirements and beyond. However, ensuring accessibility compliance with your content is under your control.
