What is Compliance and What are Standards?
When we talk about compliance we are talking about Section 508 Compliance, The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or other international laws. These laws set the legal parameters to ensure that the content we create on websites and in digital documents like PDFs is accessible and can be used by all individuals including those with impairments.
To achieve compliance we follow standards to make a document accessible. The two most common standards are PDF/UA and WCAG both with the same goal of universal readability by computer technologies, including assistive technologies. While similar they are not identical but by incorporating you can achieve 508 compliance or compliance with other laws.

Reviews From Our Amazing Clients
Digital Echo

I've worked with Digital Echo on 508 compliance for large environmental compliance documents a few times and will continue to use them in the future. They've consistently met tight turnaround times, been incredibly responsive, and their costs are very reasonable. We've tried to do this work in-house before but Digital Echo is so quick and cost effective that I don't think we'll ever go back.

I've been using Digital Echo for 5 years and I'm always happy with the completed work. They are very knowledgeable with 508 compliance, ensuring all documents, websites and powerpoint slides are compliant. They are professional, personable and consistently complete projects on time or before the due date. I will continue to use Digital Echo!

The project I work on has used Digital Echo frequently over the past year to make our PDFs accessible. They do a great job for a very fair price and have a quick turnaround time. What I like most about them, though, is their excellent communication. They always get back to me quickly, keep me apprised of their schedule for current jobs, and explain things clearly. I feel very lucky to have found this company. They've made it so easy for us to make our documents accessible.
