What are 508 compliance 
solutions? 
As defined by each statute, information and communications 
technology (ICT) must be accessible to people with disabilities to 
comply with Section 508 compliance solutions. This covers all 
website content, programs, software, hardware, and other tech 
used by staff or the general public.
 
Except in limited circumstances, federal agencies are required by 
Section 508 compliance services. To ensure their information and 
communication technology (ICT) is usable by individuals with 
disabilities, they must comply with the Rehabilitation Act.
It outlines several specifications and rules that must be adhered 
to to guarantee that people with disabilities may access 
information quickly and easily.
Why do websites need to be 508 
compliant?
The most recent revision to 508 compliance solutions (added in 2017) 
gauges compliance with the same global standard—WCAG 2.0 AA. 
Similar to the old Section 508, WCAG 2.0 AA does not specify any 
requirements for websites to be compliant and accessible. Instead, the 
guidelines provide a precise picture of what accessible websites must 
do, focusing more on functionality. 
For websites to increase accessibility for users with disabilities and 
increase traffic and conversion rates, 508 compliance is crucial.
Websites inevitably incur the danger of lowering page views, limiting 
website statistics, and reducing their target audience if they ignore the 
accessibility requirements of the public.
How to make your website 508 
compliant?
There are specific Website Content Accessibility Guidelines 
(WCAG 2.0) that must be followed to make your website 
accessible. Some of the essential elements that help your 
website comply with 508 compliance solutions include:
1. Keyboard use for navigation and accessibility
2. Images with an alternative text
3. Video/audio transcripts or captions
4. Support for screen readers
5. Video alternative text
6. No time restrictions
7. The contrast of colors
8. Steer clear of any screen elements that flicker.
