Your public website
has a deadline.
A federal rule now requires state and local government websites to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. JW Digital audits, remediates, and rebuilds public-sector sites to that standard, before the clock runs out.
WCAG 2.1 AA,
now mandatory.
Under the Department of Justice ADA Title II web rule, state and local government web content and mobile apps must conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. The requirement also reaches content delivered through vendors, so the pages a contractor builds for an agency are covered too.
The obligation is already in force. Entities can face complaints and litigation now, during the runway, not only at the deadline.
