ADA compliant accessible websites for schools

Gecko Designs design and builds custom accessible websites for schools and school districts around the country.

The American’s with Disabilities Act mandates that school websites be accessible by individuals with vision and/or hearing impairments.  Blind people and people with vision impairments often use software that allows them to browse the internet with their ears.  Their computer reads the website to them and allows them to navigate through the website using their keyboard.

School websites that are not in compliance with the American’s with Disability Act (ADA) often times find themselves saddled with hefty fines from the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) or worse yet, lawsuits, so getting a lawyer for this is important, and you can even go online for this get more info here.

Professional and beautiful accessible WordPress websites

Gecko Designs builds accessible websites that comply with WCAG and WAI-ARIA accessibility standards.  We recently designed and launched a fully accessible website solution for Stevensville Public Schools.

Gecko Designs created an accessible website solution for Stevensville High School which includes sports/team pages, clubs and activity pages, faculty and staff directories, calendars and other fully compliant content.

Stevensville Middle School

Stevensville Elementary School

Accessible faculty and staff website directories

Websites can include searchable and accessible staff and faculty directories that allow website visitors to easily find the contact information they are looking for.

Accessible board member content

Board member pages and directories can be made fully accessible and compliant.

Accessible school board policies

School districts oftentimes maintain large sets of policy documents that must be included on the website.  Gecko Designs can import this content and make it ADA compliant and accessible by users with vision or hearing impairments.

Accessible school sports team pages

School sports teams and coaches often have unique page requirements.  For instance, one sport may require multiple rosters, schedules and player or coach profiles.  Another team may simply require a brief announcement.  Our accessible and ADA compliant sports pages allow coaches and organizers to create flexible team pages that meet their unique needs.

Accessible club and activity pages

School music (band, orchestra and choir) classes or clubs can create their own unique accessible ADA compliant pages.

School websites with accessible news, forms and eCommerce content

Your school website may also include accessible, compliant news postings, submittable forms and eCommerce functionality.
