K-12 Education

In our experience, unless you are already extensively focusing on website accessibility, there are likely accessibility issues present on your current website that need to be fixed. Nearly all websites and applications have accessibility problems because, unfortunately, we have not yet reached a point where all designers and developers make accessibility a priority.

If you’re not sure that our services are right for you, we recommend getting one of our free risk assessments. These assessments tell you:

1. If there are any errors present on your website.
2. How we can help and the fastest path to remediation.

You can request a risk assessment at no charge on our accessibility audits page.

If you request a risk assessment, you’ll be able to schedule a meeting to go over your assessment at a time that makes sense for you. Typically we have your risk assessment complete and are available to meet to discuss it within 24 hours.

Our initial accessibility audits generally take 5 business days from the date you sign up and pay your deposit.

Remediation timelines are unique for every client depending upon several items, including the number of problems present on the site and the budget available for fixes. Our goal is to remediate all issues as quickly as possible, and some clients choose to have an intense remediation phase over several weeks following the audit. Other clients may elect to enter a remediation plan that stretches over many months due to the number of problems that need to be addressed, the number of pages requiring manual review, and their budget.

Yes. Our team has developed accessible websites and web applications and has provided accessibility consulting for both charter schools and public schools. Additionally, we have higher education website accessibility experience and have provided accessibility services to large public universities, government agencies, and federally funded programs.

Our COO, Chris Hinds, previously worked in K-12 dining, running school meal programs in districts in Wyoming and Colorado. Chris has worked in rural high-FRL school districts and currently serves on his local school board. This background brings a unique understanding about how public school districts run, not commonly found at web consulting firms.

As an agency, we are familiar with the intricacies of working on a website that is paid for by state or federal dollars and that there may be additional contractual items that need to be included in the terms of service or certain milestones that need to be met in order for payment to be released.

Yes, we do occasionally submit responses to RFPs for new website projects depending upon the scope of the project and timeline. If your department or institution has an RFP that you would like us to review and respond to, please email it to sales [at] equalizedigital.com. Please note, we do have a strong preference toward responding to RFPs that list a budget.

Yes. If you have your own in-house developers but need a trained accessibility expert to assist with auditing and providing support as your development team remediates issues, we can help.

For companies with an internal development team, we can craft custom remediation and monitoring support plans which includes access to our scanning dashboard and reports, as well as time for training and support as your developers work through issues. We can also coordinate user testing sessions with our blind and visually impaired testers. Please contact us for additional information.

Yes, in addition to our accessibility auditing and remediation services, we also offer accessible website design and development services for k-12 schools and school districts, including hosting and supporting websites post launch as desired by the school or district.
