What are 508 compliance 
solutions? 
The Workforce Rehabilitation Act of 1973 in the 
United States includes Section 
508 compliance solutions. It outlines several 
specifications and rules that must be adhered to to 
guarantee that people with disabilities may access 
information quickly and easily.
Several statutes apply to Section 508. Among 
them, the following are the ones that are most 
crucial to information and communication:
Section 255 of the Communications Act; the 2010 
Communications and Video Accessibility Act.
Why do websites need to be 508 
compliant?
• The 2017 upgrade to Section 508 compliance services 
measures compliance with WCAG 2.0 AA, the same international 
standard. 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. 
Websites must comply with Section 508 to improve accessibility 
for users with disabilities and increase traffic and conversions.
• 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. 
What is Section 508 remediation?
Making your website or application compatible 
with the Section 508 accessibility rules is called 
"Section 508 remediation." After an accessibility 
test, remediation is necessary to ensure that your 
website or application complies with the Web 
Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). This may 
involve making modifications to your code and 
deploying assistive technologies.
