Build and Maintain an Accessible School Website
Finalsite provides easy-to-use tools and services to make building and maintaining an accessible website easy.
Our Holistic Approach to Website Accessibility
To us, website accessibility isn't just about laws and regulations — it is about doing the right thing. Our goal is to ensure that every one of your website visitors has the same great experience no matter what — which is why we're dedicated to ensuring your website is accessible from the ground up.
What makes Finalsite's approach different from our competitors is not only the passion we bring to our projects, but the knowledge, structure, and testing that goes into them as well. Our designers and developers are trained in layout, content, structural and navigational requirements of web accessibility, and craft our websites with a keen attention to detail. Every site goes through a formal Quality Assurance process to ensure we've met essential WCAG 2.0 requirements, and the in-house accessibility experts on our Support Team make sure that accessibility is maintained as your site develops and grows.

AVON GROVE SCHOOL DISTRICT
"With an OCR complaint, even if you win, you lose. There's all types of associated fees with it. For Avon Grove, we wanted to avoid an OCR complaint at all costs — but we didn't have the time, resources, or formally-trained personnel to do so. Finalsite and AudioEye gave us an affordable, workable solution for accessibility that saves us time and money — and we don't have to do the heavy lifting."
Gary Mattei
Director of Technology
SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
"AudioEye's technology-first approach to digital accessibility has proven effective from the very start and should serve as a trusted model for all school districts seeking to conform with ADA-related laws and striving to ensure the highest level of access and usability. When it comes to identifying issues of accessibility, the test results are reliable and accurate; when it comes to fixing issues of accessibility, the AudioEye remediation technology is cost-effective and the impact is immediate."
