Web Accessibility for Mission-Driven Organizations

We believe the web should be accessible to everyone.

That‘s why accessibility is baked into every Kanopi project. 

Accessibility is the default for all of our web design and development projects. We incorporate accessibility practices into every step of our process, from initial design through launch. Every site we build or support is a minimum of AA WCAG compliant, and we have several accessibility experts on staff.

Why web accessibility matters

According to the CDC, 28% of people living in the U.S. have a disability. That’s one in four, or over 80 million people in the U.S. alone. Not to mention, as we get older, our hearing and sight can deteriorate over time. Then there are “situational” disabilities: a broken arm, a user on a plane that forgot their headphones and wants to utilize closed captioning to watch a movie on their mobile device, or the user who got their pupils dilated at the ophthalmologist’s office.

Consequently, web accessibility is essential for developers and organizations that want to create high-quality websites and online tools that work for everyone.
